------- Comment #4 from eedelman at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-02-04 20:52 ------- Created an attachment (id=10777) --> (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=10777&action=view) Patch to fix the bug.
We also get into trouble if we try to pass the result of a pointer-to-array returning funtion as an argument to another procedure (e.g. call a_suborutine (x(5)) ) The problem, both for this case and print *, x(5) is that we try to free the temporary used to hold the result. This we mustn't do, since the temporary will be just a shallow copy of the resulting array. The attached patch fixes these problems, but is not yet well tested. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25806
