 Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2023 2:39 pm Post subject: Allocate on assignment for CHARACTER variables |
 |
|
While trying to use the "allocate on assignment" feature for CHARACTER variables implemented with FTN95 version 8.95, both following examples fail to compile with version 8.97.2. The error output seems to me contradictory.
| Code: | PROGRAM Simon
IMPLICIT NONE
CHARACTER (LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE :: Says
CALL Sim('clap hands', Says)
WRITE(*,*) Says
CONTAINS
SUBROUTINE Sim(What, Out)
IMPLICIT NONE
CHARACTER (LEN=*), INTENT(IN):: What
CHARACTER (LEN=:), INTENT(OUT), ALLOCATABLE :: Out
Out = 'Simon says '//What
END SUBROUTINE Sim
END PROGRAM Simon |
| Quote: | error 1234 - CHARACTER variable OUT must be ALLOCATABLE
error 941 - OUT is a scalar dummy argument and so cannot be ALLOCATABLE |
| Code: | PROGRAM Simon
IMPLICIT NONE
CHARACTER (LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE :: Says
Says=Sim('clap hands')
WRITE(*,*) Says
CONTAINS
FUNCTION Sim(What) RESULT(Out)
IMPLICIT NONE
CHARACTER (LEN=*), INTENT(IN):: What
CHARACTER (LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE :: Out
Out = 'Simon says '//What
END FUNCTION Sim
END PROGRAM Simon |
| Quote: | | error 456 - ALLOCATABLE is an illegal attribute specifier for a RESULT variable such as (RESULT of SIMON~SIM) |

It looks like the use of CHARACTER variables in this way has not be considered.
I have added these to the list of missing features. |

| This feature has now been added for the next release of FTN95 but only for x64. |

I have tried both code samples with the new FTN95 version 9.04.0.0. The version with FUNCTION (2nd sample) works, thank you, the version with SUBROUTINE (1st sample) raises the following exception at runtime:

I continued to play with this new feature. Compiling the following example
| Code: | PROGRAM Simon
IMPLICIT NONE
CHARACTER (LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE :: Says
Says=Sim('clap hands')//' and '//Sim('sit down')
WRITE(*,*) Says
CONTAINS
FUNCTION Sim(What) RESULT(Out)
IMPLICIT NONE
CHARACTER (LEN=*), INTENT(IN):: What
CHARACTER (LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE :: Out
Out = 'Simon says '//What
END FUNCTION Sim
END PROGRAM Simon |
fails with the error message
| Quote: | | error 163 - Internal compiler error |
The next example
| Code: | PROGRAM Simon
IMPLICIT NONE
CHARACTER (LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE :: Says
Says=Sim('clap hands')
WRITE(*,*) Says
CONTAINS
FUNCTION Sim(What) RESULT(Out)
IMPLICIT NONE
CHARACTER (LEN=*), INTENT(IN):: What
CHARACTER (LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE :: Out
Out = 'Simon says nothing'
END FUNCTION Sim
END PROGRAM Simon |
fails with the error message
| Quote: | | error 773 - Variable of follows another operand (possible unexpected space?) |

Thank you for the feedback.
I think that your second sample will be relatively easy to fix.
A fix for your first sample could prove to be very time consuming so the issue may end up on the back burner for some time.
There is quite a lot in "allocate on assignment" that is proving to be a heavy drain on resources and one has to ask if the time would be better spent on other developments.
In the meantime FTN95 will require a more traditional approach in this context. |

The whole thing started when I was curious about the "allocate on assignment" feature for CHARACTER variables implemented in FTN95 version 8.95, more or less just for fun. Some of these attempts were not successful and are the origin of this thread. It was not my intention to commit development resources to such features and I fully understand that other priorities have to be set. Thanks as always for your patience and educational responses. |
