Summary: [OOP] Overridding hidden (private) TPB is rejected Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: rejects-valid Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: bur...@gcc.gnu.org CC: ja...@gcc.gnu.org See http://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/11/11-141.txt and watch out for updates (11-141r1.txt etc.), approved by J3 meeting. Overriding a TBP seems to OK, if the TBP is hidden through accessibility (PRIVATE). Note (cf. example 2 in the IR): Abstract DT with private deferred TBP cannot be extended as one cannot implement the deferred TBP. The first example given in the file is rejected with: PROCEDURE,NOPASS :: p => p2 ! (2). 1 Error: 'p' at (1) must have the same number of formal arguments as the overridden procedure MODULE example1_m1 TYPE t1 CONTAINS PROCEDURE,PRIVATE,NOPASS :: p ! (1). END TYPE CONTAINS SUBROUTINE p PRINT *,'p' END SUBROUTINE SUBROUTINE do_p(x) CLASS(t1) x CALL x%p END SUBROUTINE END MODULE MODULE example1_m2 USE example1_m1 TYPE,EXTENDS(t1) :: t2 CONTAINS PROCEDURE,NOPASS :: p => p2 ! (2). END TYPE CONTAINS SUBROUTINE p2(n) PRINT *,'p2',n END SUBROUTINE END MODULE PROGRAM example1 USE example1_m2 TYPE(t2),TARGET :: x CLASS(t1),POINTER :: y y => x CALL do_p(x) ! (3): I expect this to print 'p'. CALL do_p(y) ! (4): I expect this to print 'p'. CALL x%p(13) ! (5): I expect this to print 'p2 13'. END PROGRAM
