--- Comment #15 from janus at gcc dot gnu.org --- Another test case related to comment 12 (from http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2013-08/msg00015.html): integer, target :: tgt type t2 end type t2 type(t2), target :: tgt2 type t class(*), pointer :: a => tgt class(*), pointer :: b => tgt2 end type t type(t) :: x type(t), SAVE :: y end Unpatched gfortran gives: tobias3.f90:1.22: integer, target :: tgt 1 Internal Error at (1): tobias3.f90:6.31: class(*), pointer :: a => tgt 1 Can't convert INTEGER(4) to CLASS(*) at (1) and also the patches from comment 8 and 10 don't help here.
