--- Comment #5 from kargl at gcc dot gnu.org --- Interesting bug. If one puts a break point ... 0x75917d gfc_format_decoder /home/toon/compilers/gcc/gcc/fortran/error.cc:1078 0x2153e1f pp_format(pretty_printer*, text_info*) /home/toon/compilers/gcc/gcc/pretty-print.cc:1475 0x21315be diagnostic_report_diagnostic(diagnostic_context*, diagnostic_info*) /home/toon/compilers/gcc/gcc/diagnostic.cc:1606 0x9b628e gfc_report_diagnostic /home/toon/compilers/gcc/gcc/fortran/error.cc:890 0x9b628e gfc_error_opt /home/toon/compilers/gcc/gcc/fortran/error.cc:1460 0x9b7470 gfc_error(char const*, ...) /home/toon/compilers/gcc/gcc/fortran/error.cc:1489 0xa6205b ambiguous_symbol /home/toon/compilers/gcc/gcc/fortran/symbol.cc:3167 here, one ends up at gfc_error ("Name %qs at %C is an ambiguous reference to %qs from" "module %qs", name, st->n.sym->name, st->n.sym->module); %C means one should use gfc_current_locus to print the offending line. If one looks are gfc_current_locus, one sees gfc_current_locus.lb = 0x0, an infamous NULL pointer dereference then occurs. Ouch.
