Bug ID: 85868 Summary: Subarray of a pointer array associated with a pointer dummy argument Product: gcc Version: 7.3.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: vladimir.fuka at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Reported at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50459234/fortran-pointer-dummy-argument This code returns program aa implicit none real, pointer, dimension(:,:) :: t => null() integer :: i,j allocate(t(0:100,20)) do i = 0, 100 do j = 1, 20 t(i,j) = i*j end do end do call te(t(1:,:)) contains subroutine te(a) real,dimension(:,:),pointer,intent(in) :: a print *, a(1,1) end subroutine te end program aa The code returns 4.0 In gfortran 4.8 to 7.3. It returns 1.0 in Oracle sunf90. It is reported to be rejected by Intel Fortran 18: /pt.f90(17): error #7121: A ptr dummy may only be argument associated with a ptr, and this array element or section does not inherit the POINTER attr from its parent array. [T] call te(t(1:,:)) I don't know if this is related to https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78290 or not.
