Bug ID: 60813 Summary: [Coarray] substrings mishandled Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: diagnostic, rejects-valid Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: burnus at gcc dot gnu.org The following substring reference gives the bogus: Error: Rank mismatch in array reference at (1) (1/0) character(len=5), save :: str[*] print *, str(j:j) end While the following (array section) is rejected - but with the wrong error message. It should state that "str" is a scalar. (Correct syntax for a substring would be "str[1](j:j)".) character(len=5), save :: str[*] print *, str(j:j)[1] end
