Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |burnus at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #1 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-06-12 15:52:34 UTC --- I was thinking about the following patch - namely, doing in optimize_assignment the remove_trim only if "!lhs->ts.deferred". * * * However, that does not work; seemingly, a = trim(b) is replaced by a = b(1:len_trim(b)) in such a way, that len(a) == 0 instead of 3. The same issue occurs for a manual: trimmed = string(1:len_trim(string)) Thus, the follow-up issue is not a FE optimization issue but rather a trans*.c issue. The generated code is [some casting removed]: trimmed = __builtin_malloc (MAX_EXPR <NON_LVALUE_EXPR <D.1861>, 0>); .trimmed = MAX_EXPR <NON_LVALUE_EXPR <D.1861>, 0>; D.1861 = _gfortran_string_len_trim (4, &string); Which shows the wrong ordering, similar to bug 45170 comment 34, which is fixed by the patch at bug 45170 comment 34. That patch also solves the len_trim issue above. --- a/gcc/fortran/frontend-passes.c +++ b/gcc/fortran/frontend-passes.c @@ -738 +738 @@ optimize_assignment (gfc_code * c) - if (lhs->ts.type == BT_CHARACTER) + if (lhs->ts.type == BT_CHARACTER && !lhs->ts.deferred) @@ -740 +740 @@ optimize_assignment (gfc_code * c) - /* Optimize away a = trim(b), where a is a character variable. */ + /* Optimize a = trim(b) to a = b. */ @@ -743,4 +743,2 @@ optimize_assignment (gfc_code * c) - /* Replace a = ' ' by a = '' to optimize away a memcpy, but only - for strings with non-deferred length (otherwise we would - reallocate the length. */ - if (empty_string(rhs) && ! lhs->ts.deferred) + /* Replace a = ' ' by a = '' to optimize away a memcpy. */ + if (empty_string(rhs)) @@ -1174 +1172 @@ optimize_trim (gfc_expr *e) - /* Build the function call to len_trim(x, gfc_defaul_integer_kind). */ + /* Build the function call to len_trim(x, gfc_default_integer_kind). */
