------- Comment #10 from pault at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-10-02 15:20 ------- (In reply to comment #9) As usual, the DEC manual puts in succinctly: If MOLD is an array and SIZE is omitted, the result is a rank-one array. Its size is the smallest that is possible to hold all of SOURCE".
This is what I have now implemented (and by the way, what I implemented for simplify_transfer and the trans-intrinsic version....). However, "If the physical representation of the result is smaller than SOURCE, the result contains the right-most bits of SOURCE's bit pattern. is a killer at this stage in the compilation, since the physical reprentation of the result is unknown. I might signal, I guess, that it is the actual argument of an inquiry function.... Anyway, the logic is there, I just have to figure out where to deploy it. Otherwise, I break transfer_array_intrinsic_2.f90, which has an assignment from an over-large 'transfer' result. *sigh* Paul -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35680
