Updated test case: program main implicit none type :: type1 real, allocatable :: anum(:) end type type :: type2 type(type1) :: temp end type block type(type1) :: t1 type(type2) :: t2 t1 = type1([0.,1.]) t2 = type2(t1) end block end Note: The double free goes away when changing the line t2 = type2(t1) to t2%temp = t1 That means the actual problem is not the auto-dealloc itself (which is done properly), but the construction of t2: With the second variant, a deep copy is done (allocating a separate chunk of memory for t2%temp), while in the first one t2%temp only gets a reference to the memory allocated for t1 (which is of course wrong). Since both t1 and t2 are auto-deallocated, we try to free that memory twice.
