Summary: Valid array-constructor syntax rejected/invalid accepted Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ian_har...@bigpond.com Created attachment 23898 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=23898 Demonstrates valid and invalid syntax gfortran 4.7 compiled from trunk revision 171951 rejects an array constructor with syntax: [ derived_type_name:: ... ] With -Wall --std=f2003 it accepts without complaint one of the form: [ TYPE(derived_type_name):: ... ] >From F2008 draft: R468: array-constructor is (/ ac-spec /) or lbracket ac-spec rbracket R469: ac-spec is type-spec :: or [type-spec ::] ac-value-list R402: type-spec is intrinsic-type-spec or derived-type-spec R453: derived-type-spec is type-name [(type-param-spec-list)] It looks like the compiler has confused a type-spec with a declaration-type-spec, (which does use the TYPE keyword).
