--- Comment #2 from anlauf at gcc dot gnu.org --- The patch in comment#1 would turn the ICE into an accepts-invalid, since we would only get a warning instead of an error. This happens because the character length check in gfc_compare_actual_formal returns too early after emitting the warning. The simplest fix would be to continue doing the checking: diff --git a/gcc/fortran/interface.c b/gcc/fortran/interface.c index 60736123550..9e3e8aa9da9 100644 --- a/gcc/fortran/interface.c +++ b/gcc/fortran/interface.c @@ -3255,10 +3255,13 @@ gfc_compare_actual_formal (gfc_actual_arglist **ap, gfc_formal_arglist *formal, && f->sym->attr.flavor != FL_PROCEDURE) { if (a->expr->ts.type == BT_CHARACTER && !f->sym->as && where) - gfc_warning (0, "Character length of actual argument shorter " - "than of dummy argument %qs (%lu/%lu) at %L", - f->sym->name, actual_size, formal_size, - &a->expr->where); + { + gfc_warning (0, "Character length of actual argument shorter " + "than of dummy argument %qs (%lu/%lu) at %L", + f->sym->name, actual_size, formal_size, + &a->expr->where); + goto skip_size_check; + } else if (where) { /* Emit a warning for -std=legacy and an error otherwise. */ This regtests cleanly and allows to emit the same error message as for matching character length.
