error #6463: This is not a derived type name.

[zuch]

I will appreciate if someone could point out if it is my mistake or comelier issue

I have defined type point and overwritten default constructor.In the main program class point is available while I can not use it to define new types.

Here is an example

module point_class

implicit none

private

public :: point

type point

real :: x

real :: y

end type

interface point

module procedure constructor1

end interface

contains

function constructor1(x,y)

real, intent(in) :: x

real, intent(in) :: y

type(point) :: constructor1

constructor1%x = x

constructor1%y = y

end function

end module point_class

program example

use point_class

class(point), pointer :: p1 ! recognized

type particle

!type(point) :: coordinates ! works

type(point), pointer :: coordinates ! errorpoint is not a derived type name.

!class(point), pointer :: coordinates ! error point is not a derived type name.

end type particle

end program example

Thanks

It's a compiler bug. I have reported it to the developers as issue DPD200179235. Thanks for the nice example.

Thank you Steve.

Could you please provide a link to currently known issues? I could not find one.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

We do not have a single list of all known issues. Sometimes we create "known issue" knowledge base articles, but there isn't for this one.

In any event, this wasn't a known issue until you reported it.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

This problem has been fixed for a release later this year.

Thank you Steve, looking forward for a new release.
