gfortran crashes if one uses cptr = C_PTR(p+1)
Here, C_PTR is a structure constructor; this usage is invalid Fortran 2003 (as type(C_PTR) has PRIVATE components according to the Fortran 2003 standard); NAG f95 therefore diagnoses: Error: Components of structure constructor 'c_ptr' at (1) are PRIVATE gfortran allows currently to access the private components to allow to print the pointer address as in print *, cptr (For -std=f2003, this gives the expected error because of the private components. However, for C_PTR(..) -std=f2003 does not help.)
