Summary: Memory leak involving derived types w/ allocatable
components
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: fortran

Source code plus makefile
The attached test-case code (Makefile included) compiles fine with gfortran 4.6
on Mac OSX 10.6. However, when I run the code I get a significant memory leak.
Valgrind reports:
==84427== LEAK SUMMARY:
==84427== definitely lost: 38,496,000 bytes in 4,000 blocks
==84427== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==84427== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==84427== still reachable: 88 bytes in 1 blocks
==84427== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==84427== Rerun with --leak-check=full to see details of leaked memory
The leaks are occurring with the st_l and st_r derived types in the evolve()
subroutine in hydro_evolve.f90; it seems that the allocatable components of
these variables are not being automatically deallocated when the recon()
subroutine is called, even though the corresponding dummy arguments in recon()
are declared as INTENT(out)..
If I uncomment the deallocate statements in evolve(), so that I do the
deallocation 'by hand', then the memory leak is fixed. So, a workaround is
possible, but this seems to be quite a fundamental bug.
