Dear Paul, Late thanks for the review, the patch has been committed to trunk at r211405.
> OK for trunk and, I would suggest 4.9. I am now trying to do the back port to 4.9 and I got two failures: FAIL: gfortran.dg/alloc_comp_basics_1.f90 -O* scan-tree-dump-times original "builtin_free" 18 FAIL: gfortran.dg/alloc_comp_constructor_1.f90 -O* scan-tree-dump-times original "builtin_free" 19 In both cases the number of "builtin_free" is 21. I have run the executables for the patched/unpatched 4.9 through valgrind without error in both cases. I can indeed make the tests pass by updating the counst in scan-tree-dump-times, but I'ld like some advice before committing that. TIA Dominique
