--- Comment #3 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-01-16 12:54:31 UTC --- I have not quite found why it works in one order and not the other. There is some reading/fixup oddness. In particular, when reading in 'bar', in module_read's fixup setup, one already has a symtree for __vtab_foo_Foo_t available - which in principle is needed for _extension. In any case, what we do for __vtab (as PARAMETER) is not possible in Fortran itself. Namely, having a PARAMETER with a (non-NULL) pointer. In Fortran, it's not allowed as one could use the parameter's pointer target in a TRANSFER. Thus, one had to know the address at compile time. However, the address is only known at link time. See PR 51266 and related PR 45290 and PR 51076. While accessing __vtab_...%_extension is not possible within Fortran, the module reading does not seem to be prepared for it. A simple revert of comment 1 is not possible as one runs into similar problems for __def_init - causing an ICE. Ditto for a simple revert of only class.c. * * * In any case, I planing to submit the following (regtested) patch, which is a revert of comment 1 plus FL_PARAMETER->FL_VARIABLE for __def_init plus a patch to trans-decl.c. --- a/gcc/fortran/class.c +++ b/gcc/fortran/class.c @@ -590,3 +590,3 @@ gfc_find_derived_vtab (gfc_symbol *derived) vtab->ts.type = BT_DERIVED; - if (gfc_add_flavor (&vtab->attr, FL_PARAMETER, NULL, + if (gfc_add_flavor (&vtab->attr, FL_VARIABLE, NULL, &gfc_current_locus) == FAILURE) @@ -684,3 +684,3 @@ gfc_find_derived_vtab (gfc_symbol *derived) def_init->attr.access = ACCESS_PUBLIC; - def_init->attr.flavor = FL_PARAMETER; + def_init->attr.flavor = FL_VARIABLE; gfc_set_sym_referenced (def_init); --- a/gcc/fortran/expr.c +++ b/gcc/fortran/expr.c @@ -1885,4 +1885,3 @@ gfc_simplify_expr (gfc_expr *p, int type) && (gfc_init_expr_flag || p->ref - || p->symtree->n.sym->value->expr_type != EXPR_ARRAY) - && !p->symtree->n.sym->attr.vtab) + || p->symtree->n.sym->value->expr_type != EXPR_ARRAY)) { --- a/gcc/fortran/resolve.c +++ b/gcc/fortran/resolve.c @@ -9639,3 +9639,3 @@ resolve_values (gfc_symbol *sym) - if (sym->value == NULL || sym->attr.use_assoc) + if (sym->value == NULL) return; @@ -12197,3 +12197,3 @@ resolve_fl_parameter (gfc_symbol *sym) refer to a derived type from the host. */ - if (sym->ts.type == BT_DERIVED && sym->value + if (sym->ts.type == BT_DERIVED && !gfc_compare_types (&sym->ts, &sym->value->ts)) --- a/gcc/fortran/trans-decl.c +++ b/gcc/fortran/trans-decl.c @@ -1487,3 +1487,6 @@ gfc_get_symbol_decl (gfc_symbol * sym) || (sym->name[0] == '_' && strncmp ("__def_init", sym->name, 10) == 0)) - GFC_DECL_PUSH_TOPLEVEL (decl) = 1; + { + TREE_READONLY (decl) = 1; + GFC_DECL_PUSH_TOPLEVEL (decl) = 1; + }
