I compiled this code with ifort 17.0 and it gives segfault.
https://gist.github.com/appleparan/be9eb47be87f5440c8008118492b4f10
It works with gfortran 6.2 but ifort fails. Is this ifort's bug?
This is traceback

I think this is your bug. The description of the fftw_alloc_xxx routines say:
Data allocated by fftw_malloc
must be deallocated by fftw_free
and not by the ordinary free
.
In other words, don't use Fortran DEALLOCATE on storage allocated by fftw.

You cannot use a Fortran deallocate using a pointer that was not directly allocated. e.g.
ALLOCATE(yourPointer(nX, nY, nZ))
IOW, if the pointer were initializes with => or with c_f_pointer, you must not DEALLOCATE.
If initialized with =OtherPointer (that was directly allocated) then you are walking on thin ice.
In the sample code, you should be calling fftw_free(p_ffttest), fftw_free(p_ffttest_c) and remember to nullify the pointers (both Fortran and C_PTR).

Oh, yes. Thank you. It is my fault, sorry.

Don't be embarrassed. It is a common mistake in multi-language programming that allocation/deallocation are freely interchangeable between languages. While this may have been the case some time ago, it is not necessarily true as languages develop. C++ may have dtor's to call, C# has garbage collection, Fortran may have Final routines (dtor-like), etc...
