Reproducer

This is a rather recent regression, failing with r274920, and it had been still working with r274120. The compile error is:
gfortran  -c muli_remnant.f90
muli_remnant.f90:2186:34:

 2186 |        call evolvePDF (x(0), q, f)

I will cut this further down.

What are the declared types of x, q, and f?
What are the types of the dummy arguments of
evolvepdf()?

The code is broken, and gfortran has told you.
Comment 4 Jürgen Reuter 2019-08-27 05:20:33 UTC
But where? It works with all former versions of gfortran, and it works with ifort.

Steve, you are absolutely right. The cast of evolvePDF is always on double precision arguments, this line here:
call evolvePDF (momentum_fraction, GeV_scale, pdf_array)
should be
call evolvePDF (dble (momentum_fraction), dble(GeV_scale), pdf_array)
Sorry for the hiccup. Please close.

I'll give Thomas a chance to look at the bug.  This is a new feature 
for gfortran that tries to track (external) subprogram interfaces.  The
error message seems odd to me

 2186 |        call evolvePDF (x(0), q, f)
      |                                  1
  Error: Type mismatch in argument '_formal_0' at (1); passed REAL(8)
  to REAL(16)

I would hope that the error could use an argument name, e.g., 
example.

 2186 |        call evolvePDF (x(0), q, f)
      |                                  1
   Error: Type mismatch in argument 'f' at (1); passed REAL(8) to REAL(16)

If gfortran told a user the problem was with the type of 'f', then one
could check the the types of 'f' and the dummy argument.

If you look through the last week or so of fortran mailing list, you'll
see that Thomas has discovered a large number of argument mismatch problems.
Comment 8 Richard Biener 2019-08-27 10:26:41 UTC
Happens all over SPEC sources as well :/  Tacking more -std=legacy into FFLAGS...
Comment 9 Thomas Koenig 2019-08-27 15:57:19 UTC
After r274937, the new flag -fallow-argument-mismatch can also be used.

Now, I agree that the error message can be improved - the _formal_...
argument names can be improved, it would probably a better idea
to refer to the place that the declaration came from in that case.

I'll do this, but it will probably be a couple of weeks until I can
come up with something - too many things happening in Real Life (TM)
at the moment.

Here's what a patch could look like.

With the test case, it yields

multi.f90:2186:23:

      |                       1

      |                    2   
Error: Type mismatch between argument passed at (1) and previous call at (2) (REAL(8)/REAL(16))

Error: Type mismatch between argument passed at (1) and previous call at (2) (REAL(8)/REAL(16))

I suppose this would be a bit more helpful.

Yes, I think is is quite helpful.  The word "previous" seems
odd with the locus pointers.  (1) is the first call in line
2199, and (2) is next call in line 2362.  I would say that
line 2199 contains the "previous" call.  Perhaps, 

Error: Type mismatch between argument passed at (1) and argument
passed at (2) (REAL(8)/REAL(16))

or

Error: Type mismatch between actual argument at (1) and actual
argument at (2) (REAL(8)/REAL(16))

That sounds _much_ better (and is also shorter). When I am back again, I will
use this and extend it to the other cases (rank, character length and maybe
others as well).

If you feel that this should be done earlier and would like to do this
yourself, that is also no problem :-)

I'm currently looking at the next round of Gerhard bug reports. ;-)

I don't think this too critical, so whenever you (or a lurker on the
fortran@ list) comes up with some better, feel free to commit.
Comment 14 anlauf 2019-08-29 18:49:15 UTC
The current solution is a bit annoying for implicitly-derived interfaces.

Consider a code like:

module foo
  implicit none
  type t1
     integer :: i = 1
  end type t1
  type t2
     integer :: j = 2
  end type t2
contains
  subroutine s1 (x)
    type(t1) :: x
    call my_mpi_bcast_wrapper (x, storage_size (x)/8)
  end subroutine s1
  subroutine s2 (y)
    type(t2) :: y
    call my_mpi_bcast_wrapper (y, storage_size (y)/8)
  end subroutine s2
end module foo

That's perfectly legal, but gets rejected unless -fallow-argument-mismatch
is specified.  But then I still get a warning (or many if this appears in
a large module).

I know that there is a (quite clumsy) solution to the above by providing
many dummy interfaces, just to defeat the checking.

I would like to see an error only for explicit interfaces.  But e.g. for
packages like MPI, where the mpi_* routines can handle different argument
types, and where by default one doesn't need (or want) an explicit interface,
I'd hope that that the checks could be downgraded.

You can get rid of the warning with -w.

That would get rid of all warnings.

Yes, that is a down side to writing code with implicit
interfaces.  There is no excuse for not using proper
explicit interfaces in modern Fortran.

This is illegal, as far as I know. The type names are different,
which makes them different types.

To quote 7.5.2.4  Determination of derived types

Two data entities have the same type if they are declared with reference to the same derived-type definition. Data
entities also have the same type if they are declared with reference to different derived-type definitions that specify
the same type name, all have the SEQUENCE attribute or all have the BIND attribute, have no components
with PRIVATE accessibility, and have components that agree in order, name, and attributes. Otherwise, they
are of different derived types.[...]

Of course the types are different - that's the point!

The above is an attempt to extract a self-contained example demonstrating
what does happen in real-world codes using MPI.  You can convert it to the
real thing yourself (see e.g. man mpi_bcast).

What I wanted to say: in many codes using MPI, the 'buffer' argument of MPI_*
can be of any type or kind, provided the other arguments are appropriately
set.  There is no explicit interface - the library routines may not even be
written in Fortran - and there cannot be any reasonable inference from an
implicit interface.  Using this to generate an error *by default* is not a
good idea. 

The same problem shows up for me in parts of the code using direct calls to
BLAS (again, no explicit interfaces), or to NetCDF.  I guess this is similar
to the issues people reported for the SPEC codes.

The recommendation to use -fallow-argument-mismatch to downgrade this to a
warning (not silence it!) does not really solve the issue: the signal-to-noise
ratio of gfortran warnings has become close to useless.  (Just ask colleagues
whether they pay attention to warnings.)

And do you really want users to add -w to the list of options?
If you think about it, you might conclude that this will do gfortran a
poor service.

I'll stop ranting now.

From the Fortran standard (actually 18-007r1.pdf), page 304.

15.5.2.4 Ordinary dummy variables

2 The dummy argument shall be type compatible with the actual argument.

How can the dummy argument be type compatiable with two distinct
different types for the actual arguments x and y in your example?

Thomas,

I'll leave this to whatever you decide.  gfortran could
do -fallow-argument-mismatch=n. n=0 is an error, n=1
is for a warning, and n>1 silences the warning. n=0 would
be the default setting as I think the error messages 
will encourage people to fix their codes.

PS: the MPI argument is somewhat bogus.  At least, OpenMPI
has an Fortran 2008 interface for mpi_bcast() (ie., 
11 years ago).

USE mpi_f08
MPI_Bcast(buffer, count, datatype, root, comm, ierror)
    TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..) :: buffer
    INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count, root
    TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype
    TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm
    INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
Comment 22 Thomas Koenig 2019-09-01 20:52:44 UTC
A problem with such code is that type violations like that are likely to cause
actual wrong code issues because much of the aliasing analysis is type based...

What I could do is to

a) restrict the number of warnings for each routine to one (put a flag
   Into the gsym)

b) try to figure something out to make this harmless to the middle end... like
   passing a void* instead of a reference.

If we just continue to ignore this error, is is going to bite people sooner or
later. And wehn somevody finds that a complex  MPI code no longer works, I want
to have that warning in the build log.

Also, this sort of code is a major obstacle for LTO, If we do not fix this, then
I might as well give up on making gfortran LTO clean.

I do see that there was a motivation for the change.  However, I think that
the resolution happens at the wrong time and comes to wrong conclusions.

The example in comment#14 compiles if I add e.g.

  interface
     subroutine my_mpi_bcast_wrapper (buffer, len)
       type(*), dimension(..) :: buffer
       integer, intent(in)    :: len
     end subroutine my_mpi_bcast_wrapper
  end interface

which I think is the appropriate explicit interface *if* it needs to be
explicitly given.  Then the code compiles without any warnings.

A warning by default would be fine with me, especially when it can be turned
off.  I am not happy to make this an error.
(I may have a different opinion for a varying number of arguments to a
procedure.)

Is the current treatment only necessary for LTO?

How does LTO handle TYPE(*) etc.?  It has to be able to deal with it!

Otherwise, can procedures without explicit interfaces be marked that they
are not eligible to this kind of optimization?

This is exactly why TYPE(*) was added to the Fortran standard.
I would need to good spelunking on the J3 website, but I vaguely
recal that Craig Rassmussen from the OpenMP standard committee
championed it.  From the Fortran 2018 standard

   An entity that is declared using the TYPE(*) type specifier is
   assumed-type and is an unlimited polymorphic entity.  It is not
   declared to have a type, and is not considered to have the same
   declared type as any other entity, including another unlimited
   polymorphic entity.  Its dynamic type and type parameters are
   assumed from its effective argument.

Adding the INTERFACE in the code from comment #14 allows gfortran
to use the effective type in the function calls.

Of course.  Thomas quoted a part of the standard that indicate 
the code is invalid Fortran.  I quoted a different line from the
standard that indicates the code is invalid Fortran.  gfortran
is informing the user the code is broken.

> Otherwise, can procedures without explicit interfaces be marked that they

It seems that you missed an important aspect of Thomas's patch.  It
allows one to find suspect subprogram references when the subprograms
are implicitly defined.  Go read the first 6 comments in the PR.
Jurgen had a bug in his code.  Thomas's patch generated an error 
pointing to the problem.  With Jurgen's code, there is a big difference
in passing a double precision value as opposed to the desired quad
precision value.

I'm having a hard time understanding why you think gfortran should
continue to silently compile invalid, and possibly broken, code
instead of actually alerting a user of an issue.  I'm having an
even harder time understanding why you want to have the ability
to completely disable the

You can use the -fallow-argument-mismatch option to
degrade the error to warning.  You'll continue to 
get a warning until you fix the code.
