Checking of overriding function result characteristics

IanH — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 04:26:14 GMT

A feature request - I appreciate there's no constraint, but 12.0.2 and earlier will complain if an overriding procedure doesn't have a argument list that appropriately matches the overridden procedure, which is nice. Could we please have that check extended to function results as well?

[fortran]MODULE A_mod IMPLICIT NONE PRIVATE TYPE, PUBLIC :: A_type CONTAINS PROCEDURE, NOPASS :: Sub => a_Sub PROCEDURE, NOPASS :: Fun => a_Fun END TYPE A_type CONTAINS SUBROUTINE a_Sub(i, r) INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: i INTEGER, INTENT(OUT) :: r !**** r = i + 1 END SUBROUTINE a_Sub FUNCTION a_Fun(i) RESULT INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: i INTEGER :: r !**** r = i + 1 END FUNCTION a_Fun END MODULE A_mod MODULE B_mod USE A_mod IMPLICIT NONE PRIVATE TYPE, EXTENDS(A_type), PUBLIC :: B_type CONTAINS PROCEDURE, NOPASS :: Sub => b_Sub PROCEDURE, NOPASS :: Fun => b_Fun END TYPE B_type CONTAINS SUBROUTINE b_Sub(i, r) INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: i INTEGER, INTENT(OUT) :: r !REAL, INTENT(OUT) :: r ! This would cause error #8383 !**** r = i + 2.0 END SUBROUTINE b_Sub FUNCTION b_Fun(i) RESULT INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: i REAL :: r ! Oops! Silly programmer... !**** r = i + 2.0 END FUNCTION b_Fun END MODULE B_mod PROGRAM fun_intf_matching_not USE A_mod USE B_mod IMPLICIT NONE TYPE(B_type) :: not_poly_var CLASS(A_type), ALLOCATABLE :: poly_var !**** PRINT *, not_poly_var%Fun(1) ! "3.0" - all good - my maths is ok. ALLOCATE(B_type :: poly_var) PRINT *, poly_var%Fun(1) ! "1" - uh oh... back to school for me!? END PROGRAM fun_intf_matching_not [/fortran]

Ian,

Thanks for the feature request. I have submitted it to engineering with tracking number: DPD200165615. Not sure you are familiar with our Static Security Analysis available by purchasing Intel Parallel Studio XE? It uses the Inspector product to find coding errors like this (although I have not tested it on this particular error). More info here:

Oops. I fibbed a bit... there are some gaps in the subroutine argument checking too, which have had me chasing my tail for the last week or so. Again, I guess this falls into the feature request category.

[fortran]MODULE BarParentMod
  IMPLICIT NONE 
  PRIVATE
  
  TYPE, PUBLIC :: Foo
  END TYPE Foo
  
  TYPE, PUBLIC, ABSTRACT :: BarParent
  CONTAINS
    PROCEDURE(intf_without_allocatable_arg), DEFERRED :: Proc    
  END TYPE BarParent
  
  ABSTRACT INTERFACE
    SUBROUTINE intf_without_allocatable_arg(obj, arg, dt)
      IMPORT :: BarParent, Foo
      IMPLICIT NONE
      CLASS(BarParent), INTENT(IN) :: obj
      REAL, INTENT(OUT) :: arg   ! Oops!  Should be allocatable.
      CLASS(Foo), INTENT(OUT) :: dt
    END SUBROUTINE intf_without_allocatable_arg
  END INTERFACE 
END MODULE BarParentMod

MODULE BarMod
  USE BarParentMod
  IMPLICIT NONE
  PRIVATE
  
  TYPE, PUBLIC, EXTENDS(BarParent) :: Bar
  CONTAINS
    PROCEDURE :: Proc => proc_with_allocatable_arg
  END TYPE Bar 
CONTAINS
  SUBROUTINE proc_with_allocatable_arg(obj, arg, dt)
    CLASS(Bar), INTENT(IN) :: obj
    REAL, INTENT(OUT), ALLOCATABLE :: arg
    TYPE(Foo), INTENT(OUT) :: dt  ! Oops! - I'm not very classy.
    !****
    ALLOCATE(arg)
    arg = 1.0
  END SUBROUTINE proc_with_allocatable_arg
END MODULE BarMod

PROGRAM NoCheckOfAllocatableOrPolymorphic
  USE BarParentMod
  USE BarMod
  IMPLICIT NONE
  CLASS(BarParent), ALLOCATABLE :: obj
  REAL :: arg
  TYPE(Foo) :: dt
  !****
  ALLOCATE(Bar:: obj)
  CALL obj%Proc(arg, dt)
END PROGRAM NoCheckOfAllocatableOrPolymorphic
[/fortran]

Thanks for the additional test case which I have added to the one engineering is already looking into. By the way your first was deemed a compiler bug, not a feature request. Will update this thread when we have a compiler that resolves it.

With the 13.0 compiler we now

With the 13.0 compiler we now give errors on this test case, in other words check the functions as we should. Wendy Doerner Intel Developer Support
