kargl at gcc dot gnu.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Last reconfirmed| |2011-11-26 CC| |kargl at gcc dot gnu.org Ever Confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from kargl at gcc dot gnu.org 2011-11-26 19:21:29 UTC --- The problem comes about because of gen_special_c_interop_ptr() in symbol.c has the following lines: /* Set up the symbol's important fields. Save attr required so we can initialize the ptr to NULL. */ tmp_sym->attr.save = SAVE_EXPLICIT; I think that we should be setting tmp_sym->attr.flavor = FL_PARAMETER; or something equivalent rather than the save attribute.
