Compiling the test in comment #0 still gives the same ICE with revision 195570.
The tests in comment #1 and gfortran.dg/allocatable_function_6.f90 compile and
execute without error.
One thing I don't understand is that
CHARACTER(LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE :: s_to_c
is accepted in the test in comment #1, but rejected with (3 times)
CHARACTER(LEN=:),ALLOCATABLE :: chars
1
Error: Deferred-length character component 'chars' at (1) is not yet supported
in the code at ftp://ftp.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/N1901-N1950/N1913.txt.
This seems to be due to
> type VARYING_STRING
> CHARACTER(LEN=:),ALLOCATABLE :: chars
> end type VARYING_STRING
i.e., "CHARACTER(LEN=:),ALLOCATABLE :: chars" being in a type definition.
Would it be possible to have a more explicit error?
