Bug ID: 60526 Summary: [4.7/4.8/4.9 Regression] Accepts-invalid: Variable name same as type name Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: janus at gcc dot gnu.org The following program is supposed to be invalid: type X end type type(X) :: X end 4.6 rejects it with: type(X) :: X 1 Error: Symbol 'x' at (1) cannot have a type 4.7, 4.8 and trunk however accept it happily. I think that is yet another regression caused by the constructor implementation in 4.7.
