This can perhaps be treated as a suggestion for improvement. There are also some similarities with the 25952 report (which is also for OpenMP SINGLE).
On this code the GOMP branch sometimes reports ICE without any useful information, sometimes ICE with something helpful to the programmer. gfortran-gomp-new -v Using built-in specs. Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gomp-new --program-suffix=-gomp-new --enable-threads=posix --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran Thread model: posix gcc version 4.2.0-gomp-20050608-branch 20060206 (experimental) (merged 20060206) In the code below, KLIST is not declared, which is probably the cause of the ICE. However, if KLIST is entered last in the COPYPRIVATE statement, the compiler will more correctly report an error in the code and be more helpful to the programmer (but still report an ICE). gfortran-gomp-new -fopenmp -g -O0 -fautomatic -Wunused -c abcdef.for abcdef.for:0: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, SUBROUTINE ABCDEF IMPLICIT DOUBLE PRECISION ( A - H, O - Z ), INTEGER ( I - N ) C COMMON /ZZOOPP/ MVBS1, JNBNP2, JNWBS C$OMP THREADPRIVATE(/ZZOOPP/) C COMMON /ACLST/ IOUTP( 100 ), KBSTYP( 15000 ), NBK C COMMON /POIUYT_P/ IBSFFD, NTSP, IIJJKK(15000), IBKR(1000) C$OMP THREADPRIVATE(/POIUYT_P/) C C$OMP SINGLE DO 15 IBK = 1, NBK IBS = IBLK( IBK ) JBS = IBKR( IBK ) IBKR( IBK ) = IBS KBSTYP( IBS ) = IIJJKK( IBS ) 15 CONTINUE C$OMP END SINGLE COPYPRIVATE( IBKR ) C C$OMP SINGLE KOUT = 0 JNWBS = 1 MVBS1 = 2 C JNBNP2 = 0 NTSP = 0 C$OMP END SINGLE COPYPRIVATE( JNWBS, MVBS1, JNBNP2, KLIST, NTSP ) C IF ( IOUTP( 3 ) .GT.
