--- Comment #10 from janus at gcc dot gnu.org 2011-10-08 11:19:07 UTC --- One more side note: The following variant segfaults with 4.3: module Test_Mod implicit none contains subroutine Init procedure(Proc1) :: Proc_Get end subroutine function Proc1() result (res) double precision, dimension(3) :: res end function end module while 4.4 rejects it with: procedure(Proc1) :: Proc_Get 1 Error: Interface 'proc1' of procedure 'proc_get' at (1) must be explicit Since this is not a regression (and 4.3 is not being maintained any more, anyway), it probably won't get fixed. From 4.5 on it is accepted.
