If one compiles ----------------- module test implicit none type epot_t integer :: c type(nonexist),pointer :: l end type epot_t end module test ----------------- no error (and no warning) is shown. If one removes the keyword "pointer", the error message "Derived type at (1) has not been previously defined" is shown.
Expected: Also for pointers, such a message is shown! (ifort, g95, NAG f95 all give an error.) -- Summary: No error given if using a non-defined type in a type definition Product: gcc Version: 4.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: tobias dot burnus at physik dot fu-berlin dot de http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29364
