Difficult question: -fno-automatic overrides the Fortran defaults to be
backward compatible with some nonstandard code. Thus, one cannot say what is
correct.

Test case:

function f()
  real :: f ! = 0 due to default initialization
  f = f + 1
end

print *, f() ! Should print 1
print *, f() ! should print 1 or 2 with -fno-automatic?
end

That prints "1.0"/"1.0" with gfortran, gfortran -fno-automatic and ifort -save.
If one replaces f() by "g() result(f)", gfortran and ifort -save also print
"1.0"/"1.0" and only gfortran -fno-automatic prints "1.0"/"2.0".

Thus, for consistency and for compatibility with the non RESULT version and
with other compilers, I agree that the TREE_STATIC does not make sense.

(Additionally, Fortran also does not allow SAVE to be specified for the result
value.)

There are two issues:

a) The compile-time check which already complains in resolve.c:
function g() result(f)
                      1
Error: Function result 'f' at (1) cannot have an initializer

b) The tree-generation issue, which can be fixed with the following patch.
However, I wonder whether one needs to exclude more, the check looks very
narrow - and I wouldn't rule out that, e.g., host associated variables or dummy
arguments get through that check as well - ditto for use-associated ones,
though they should be already static. Untested patch:
