The following program is rejected in gfortran until one adds a component. I
agree that it is not particularly useful but I think it is standard conform.
In any case the error message is bogus:
type(t) function foo()
1
Error: The type for function 'foo' at (1) is not accessible
module m
type t
end type t
end module
type(t) function foo()
use m
foo = t()
end function foo
