--- Comment #4 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Mikael Morin <mik...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:38d1761c0c94b77a081ccc180d6e039f7a670468 commit r15-698-g38d1761c0c94b77a081ccc180d6e039f7a670468 Author: Mikael Morin <mik...@gcc.gnu.org> Date: Sun May 12 15:16:23 2024 +0200 fortran: Assume there is no cyclic reference with submodule symbols [PR99798] This prevents a premature release of memory with procedure symbols from submodules, causing random compiler crashes. The problem is a fragile detection of cyclic references, which can match with procedures host-associated from a module in submodules, in cases where it shouldn't. The formal namespace is released, and with it the dummy arguments symbols of the procedure. But there is no cyclic reference, so the procedure symbol itself is not released and remains, with pointers to its dummy arguments now dangling. The fix adds a condition to avoid the case, and refactors to a new predicate by the way. Part of the original condition is also removed, for lack of a reason to keep it. PR fortran/99798 gcc/fortran/ChangeLog: * symbol.cc (gfc_release_symbol): Move the condition guarding the handling cyclic references... (cyclic_reference_break_needed): ... here as a new predicate. Remove superfluous parts. Add a condition preventing any premature release with submodule symbols. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gfortran.dg/submodule_33.f08: New test.
