--- Comment #2 from Dominique d'Humieres <dominiq at lps dot ens.fr> ---
The test compiles if SEQUENCE is added after
TYPE :: ta
I agree that the error "Can't convert TYPE(ta) to TYPE(ta)" is not very
helpful.
One possibility is to split
gfc_error ("Can't convert %s to %s at %L",
gfc_typename (&from_ts), gfc_typename (ts), &expr->where);
in intrinsic.c, one for the general case and one for derived types with the
addition of something such as "consider adding a SEQUENCE statement".
Is it worth the trouble (the PR is ten year old)?
