With -fbounds-check, an error message is shown if the character substrings
exceed the size of the variable. This error message contains also the name of
the variable, but this piece of information is not always passed to
gfc_conv_substring.
There are two places where gfc_conv_substring is called:
a) In gfc_conv_variable
b) In gfc_conv_substring_expr, here the name is always unknown.
I checked it against the regression test suite. The result:
First case, gfc_conv_variable: None found.
Secondly, gfc_conv_substring_expr (tested by adding the following to
gfc_conv_substring_expr:
printf("ERROR: gfc_conv_substring_expr: NO NAME"
"(in file '%s', at line %d)\n", expr->where.lb->file->filename,
expr->where.lb->linenum); ):
Several matches of this kind:
- gfortran.dg/char_cshift_1.f90
a(i1, i2, i3) = 'ab'(i1:i1) // 'cde'(i2:i2) // 'fghi'(i3:i3)
=> Unsolvable as no name exists
Solvable case: gfortran.dg/pr29067.f:
character(len=16),parameter :: s = "", s2 = "1234567890123456"
print *, s(9:16)
print *, s2(9:16)
The problem is that s and s2 have the parameter type
