[Bug fortran/27997] Fortran 2003: Support type-spec for array constructor

["d at domob dot eu" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

------- Comment #6 from d at domob dot eu  2008-03-25 12:44 -------
After looking at the assembly dump, the problem with the strings seems to be
that the literals are stored packed to each other in the data section and the
array constructor simply lists the pointers to them and sets the length value
to 7; thus, the shorter strings get the following character (that happens to be
the first one of the next string) appended to them.

Could we resolve this problem by keeping track for each string literal in which
content it will accessed and padding them with spaces to the longest used
length when dumping to the data section?  Possibly when gfc_convert_expr is
called on a string literal?

BTW, is this a problem that affects other things also, for instance, user
defined records?
