--- Comment #2 from rxs at hotmail dot de ---
Thank you for the suggested workaround. But it is not a solution, a non
unlimited polymorphic variable can not hold intrinsic data types like
character.
There also seems to be a problem with dummy arguments of type CLASS(*) in
general:
program bug
implicit none
call dummy_test("A test case")
contains
subroutine dummy_test(var)
class(*) :: var
select type (var)
type is (character(len=*))
print*, len(var), var
end select
end subroutine
end program bug
Compiled with ifort this program has the output:
11 A test case
That is correct.
Compiled with gfortran 4.8 this program has the output:
0
That is obviously not correct.
