--- Comment #13 from janus at gcc dot gnu.org 2012-10-26 16:47:08 UTC --- Latest patch at: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2012-10/msg00126.html This patch compiles the test case in comment 6 without errors, but the finalizer is not called. However, when changing the main program to ... program main use child_module implicit none class(child),allocatable :: infant allocate(infant,source=new_child()) end ... the finalizer is called twice: Once at the end of the main program, and once through the _copy procedure (which is invoked by the ALLOCATE statement), I think. Not sure if this is the expected behavior. If the "class(child)" here is changed to "type(child)", no finalization is done (and in fact not even a finalization routine is generated for the type 'child'). But certainly it should, just as for the original test case in comment 6.
