Bug ID: 104340 Summary: Derived type interface Array spec clobbered Product: gcc Version: 11.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: river.02.soles at icloud dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 52326 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=52326&action=edit A minimum working example for compiler failure on derived type interfaces. Trying to use gfortran to compile a Fortran program that uses derived types. gfortran crashes and requests a bug report. The program code `derived_type_err.f03` that triggers the error is attached. Another issue can be observed, when the line `EXTERNAL :: COPY_TYPE` is commented and the `INTERFACE` block that precedes it is uncommented (this is valid code), gfortran complains about NX not having an implicit type (an incorrect error message). Executing the following command gives: $ gfortran -o test derived_type_issue.f03 f951: internal compiler error: gfc_compare_array_spec(): Array spec clobbered Attempting to explicitly define the `INTERFACE` by commenting out the `EXTERNAL` line yields a different (incorrect) error raised by the compiler: $ gfortran -o test derived_type_issue.f03 derived_type_error.f03:35:28: 35 | REAL, DIMENSION(NX) :: X | 1 Error: Symbol 'nx' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type; did you mean 'n'? Both of these errors indicate that the semantics of the source code are not correctly being parsed.
