Bug ID: 57522 Summary: [F03] ASSOCIATE construct creates array descriptor with incorrect stride for derived type array component Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: alan.briolat at gmail dot com Created attachment 30254 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=30254&action=edit Code demonstrating the bug The attached code demonstrates a bug (reproducible on 4.6 to 4.9) where using ASSOCIATE to reference a derived type component in an array appears to have the wrong stride. The output is: 0 1 2 3 0 4 1 5 when it should be (and is under ifort): 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 This is probably related to bug 49636, but is a simpler case. It's also probably related to http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ArrayDescriptorUpdate (which I found via that bug). However, if the changes necessary to support this sort of reference are "future ABI-breaking work", then the current version really should warn/error rather than generating the wrong stride and silently doing the wrong thing.
