Re: [Fortran, Patch, PR{43366, 57117, 61337, 61376}, v1] Assign to polymorphic objects.

[Paul Richard Thomas <paul dot richard dot thomas at gmail dot com>]

Dear Andre,

For the bulk of the patch, I have no comments. However, for the
testcase alloc_comp_class_5.f03, please eliminate the commented out
lines and the TODO, as discussed on #gfortran. Add them to the
testcase for for PR78053, as we agreed.

In realloc_on_assign_27.f08, you have the following lines:
+   class(t), allocatable :: x
+   class(r), allocatable :: foo ! Need this declared of copy_R is not
generated.
+   type(r) :: y = r (3, 42)
+
+   x = y

Surely, if you test for the existence of the vtable and create it if
necessary for the rhs type in gfc_trans_class_assign, that would
remove the need for 'foo'?

The patch applies cleanly and regtests OK. Apart from the above nits,
OK for trunk.

Best regards

Paul
