--- Comment #3 from janus at gcc dot gnu.org ---
Note that the interface of the function 'f' is somewhat
recursive/self-referential: The function f returns a pointer to a function that
has the same interface as itself, namely returning a pointer to a function that
has the same interface as itself, returning a pointer to a function ... (ad
inf.)
I'm not sure if that is allowed in any version of the Fortran standard. There
are other self-reference restrictions in the language, e.g. for derived types,
some of which have been loosened in F08 (see e.g. PR45516).
Do you actually have a real-world problem where such a construction is
necessary, or are you just trying to break the compiler? ;)
