Problem with user-defined derived type I/O

I can not get this code working, but I fail to understand what I'm doing wrong:

module m_test
    type t1
        integer :: a
      contains
        procedure, private :: r_t1
        generic :: read(formatted) => r_t1
    end type

    type, extends(t1) :: t2
        integer :: b
    end type

   
    contains
        subroutine r_t1(dtv, unit, iotype, vlist, iostat, iomsg)
            class(t1),          intent(inout)   :: dtv
            integer,            intent(in)      :: unit
            character(len=*),   intent(in)      :: iotype
            integer,            intent(in)      :: vlist(:)
            integer,            intent(out)     :: iostat
            character(len=*),   intent(inout)   :: iomsg
            integer i,j
            select type (dtv)
                type is (t2)
                    read(unit, fmt="(2i4)", iostat=iostat, iomsg=iomsg) dtv%a , dtv%b
                    print *, "a:",dtv%a, ", b:", dtv%b
                class default
                    read(unit, fmt="(i4)", iostat=iostat, iomsg=iomsg) dtv%a
                    print *, "a:",dtv%a
            end select

        end subroutine
end module

program test
    use m_test
    
    character(len=:), allocatable :: str
    type(t1) :: x
    type(t2) :: z
    str="123456789"
    read(str, fmt="(DT)") x
    print *, x%a
    read(str, fmt="(DT)") z
    print *, "z"
    print *, z%a
    print *, z%b
end program

It compiles ok, but produces a run-time error:

I'm probably trying to do something that is not allowed, but fail to see my error. Any enlightenment is appreciated

I think your code is correct. What I see happening is that your UDIO routine is called for Z and then the run-time library tries to read component a separately, which it shouldn't. I will send this on to the developers. Issue ID is DPD200375355.

Thank you Steve,

it is a small consolation that my code is correct. I stumbled upon this problem while trying to create a reproducer for another problem, where the additional component of the second type that extends t1 is read correctly inside the UDTIO procedure, but in the calling program the component has a completely different and wrong content.

Does the problem also occur with the upcoming version 16?

Well, I managed to reduce my original problem code.

instead of the format for reading z:

 read(str, fmt="(DT)") z

i put (erroneously) an "a" too much:

 read(str, fmt="(DT,a)") z

then the program does not crash, but the value for the component b is completely off:

C:\TEMP>test
 a: 1234
 1234
 a: 1234 , b: 5678
 z
 1234
 538976313

C:\TEMP>

Now I hope I can find a workaround to this problem, otherwise lots of code rewriting will have to be done.

I admit that I am puzzled by the behavior, as we have had this feature for a while and this is not an unusual operation. I will wait to see what the developers say. You would not want to add an A format item (nor anything else, really)

This has been fixed for the next major version to be released later this year. I have not yet heard if it will also get fixed in a 16.0 update.

Thanks Steve,

we're hoping for a timely update of ifort as this bug needed some ugly workarounds in our code

I am now told that the fix for this will be in Update 3. The fix is in the run-time library - if you linked to the DLL libraries, which is the default, your program should pick it up automatically, though a recompile is never a bad idea.

Thanks Steve,

that is good news. We are linking to the DLL runtime, but our code will need a recompile anyway as we will remove our workarounds for the bug.
