To be conservative was exactly my intention, since a) trunk is in stage 4 and b) I wanted something that is safe for backporting to 4.6 and 4.7 (where we certainly can not afford to introduce any new wrong-code regressions). >>>> @@ -6995,20 +6995,14 @@ gfc_conv_array_parameter (gfc_se * se, gfc_expr >>>> * >>>> this_array_result = false; >>>> /* Passing address of the array if it is not pointer or >>>> assumed-shape. */ >>>> - if (full_array_var&& g77&& !this_array_result) >>>> + if (full_array_var&& g77&& !this_array_result >>>> +&& sym->ts.type != BT_DERIVED&& sym->ts.type != BT_CLASS) > > I would have used instead: > && expr->expr_type == EXPR_VARIABLE && ref == NULL) > > to make the optimization available to variables of derived type. > As we are now in stage4, your version should probably be preferred though.

Yes, certainly the upcoming release should better produce code that is fully correct, rather than "fast but wrong" ;) Thanks for your review (which I read as an OK for all branches, right?). Will commit soon. Cheers, Janus
