Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|WAITING |NEW --- Comment #3 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-04-10 10:27:37 UTC --- Found the information I was looking for at http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.0/cesm/cesmBbrowser/html_code/esmf_wrf_timemgr/ESMF_TimeMod.F90.html The problem is that the PRIVATE module procedure is used as specific procedure for an operator (which is PUBLIC). Thus, one cannot set the TREE_PUBLIC() = 0 for PRIVATE procedures, if (a) the generic procedure / user-defined operator/assignment is not also PRIVATE (b) a procedure is used as type-bound procedure in a nonabstract nonprivate TYPE declaration. [(c) if the (sub)module has a submodule. (Note: Currently, no submodules are supported.)] The simplest might be to add another attribute - and set it during resolution. Workaround: Undo the "build_function_decl" part of the commit Rev. 186223 - or revert the complete commit. Test case, which will produce at link time with any optimization level: undefined reference to `__m_MOD_bar' ! ----- FILE 1 ---- module m interface gen module procedure bar end interface gen private :: bar contains subroutine bar() print *, "bar" end subroutine bar end module m ! ----- FILE 2 ---- use m call gen() end
