Bug #: 54784 Summary: [oop] allocation of extended types with polymorphic allocatable members Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: jkoz...@gmail.com (Error also occurs with gcc 4.7.1) When I have a container module with stores a collection of polymorphics types, I sometimes get an error that a pointer is being freed which was not allocated. An example program is below. It can be compiled without errors gfortran bug.f90 It contains four modules each with an associated type. If the type 'block' in 'block_module' the member nFields is commented out the code runs fine. If a print statement is added in the program the code runs fine If the dimension of the member 'x' of types block_cart1d and block_cart2d are changed so that they are not 3 and 4 (only one must be changed), the program works. Finally, if the order in the program of the addBlock command is reversed the bug.f90 -------- module block_module implicit none private public :: block type,abstract :: block ! if commented out code works fine integer ,private :: nFields = 0 end type block end module block_module module block1d_module use block_module, only : block type,extends(block) :: block1d real,dimension(:,:,:),allocatable,private :: fields end type end module module block2d_module use block_module, only : block type,extends(block) :: block2d real,dimension(:,:,:,:),allocatable,private :: fields end type end module module domain_module use block_module, only : block implicit none type :: list class(block),allocatable :: B end type type :: domain type(list),dimension(10) :: L contains procedure :: addBlock end type contains subroutine addBlock(this,i,b) implicit none class(domain),intent(inout) :: this integer,intent(in) :: i class(block),intent(in) :: b allocate(this%L(i)%B,source=b) end subroutine end module program bug use domain_module, only : domain use block1d_module, only : block1d use block2d_module, only : block2d implicit none type(domain) :: d type(block1d) :: b1 type(block2d) :: b2 ! crashes with "pointer being freed was not allocated" call d%addBlock(1,b1) call d%addBlock(2,b2) ! crashes with "invalid memory reference" ! call d%addBlock(2,b2) ! call d%addBlock(1,b1) ! runs fine ! call d%addBlock(1,b2) ! call d%addBlock(2,b1) end program bug
