Bug #: 54917 Summary: transfer on polymorphic variable causes ICE (gfc_target_expr_size) Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: quanthe...@gmail.com Created attachment 28436 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=28436 Short program that causes the bug When compiling a routine that uses transfer on a polymorphic variable, the following command fails: gfortran -c -Wsurprising test_module.F90 The error message is: test_module.F90:18.22: end module test_module 1 Internal Error at (1): Invalid expression in gfc_target_expr_size. This error does not occur if -Wsurprising is off and the polymorphic variable is the "source". It does occur if the polymorphic variable is the "mold", even with no warnings on. Obviously, you would rarely-or-never want to actually do such a transfer, but I did notice this problem because I have been using the following macro to turn off warnings about unused arguments: #define UNUSED_VAR(arg) if (.false.) write(*,*) transfer(arg,1) A bit hack-ish, but gets the job done in impure routines. In any case, even if gfortran rejects this, getting a specific error message rather than an internal error would be nice. I'm in a somewhat limited environment right now, so I can't tell for sure whether this is an old problem or a regression. This has happened with one of the 4.7.3 unofficial prerelease builds: gcc-4.7 -v Using built-in specs.
