Dear All,
The attached patch fixes the confusion between substrings of character
associate-names and scalars being misused as arrays.
It is sufficiently obvious and has been tested by Dominique that I
will commit it later today if there are no opinions to the contrary.
I will now turn my attention to Andre's patches for PR60357 and PR61275.
Afterwards, I will fix the rest of the fix for this PR, via Andre's
patch for PR60255 and the query in the final message in the thread.
Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64/FC21 - OK for trunk?
Cheers
Paul

* primary.c (gfc_match_varspec): Exclude dangling associate-
names with dimension 0 from being counted as arrays.
* resolve.c (resolve_assoc_var): Sub-strings are permissible
for associate-names, so exclude characters from the test for
misuse as arrays.
* trans-decl.c (gfc_get_symbol_decl): Associate-names can use
the hidden string length variable of their associated target.
Signal this by setting 'length' to a constant, if the decl for
the string length is a variable.
