Fine with me.

0 in this case means that you need no array temporary.  This is fine.

Unfortunately not.  The original code (before I lifted out the
functionality) sometimes had GFC_DEP_ERROR at the end of the
function, which was then removed by

   return fin_dep == GFC_DEP_OVERLAP;

(In other words, if you put a gcc_unreachable there, you get
regressions.).

I can add a comment that this is intentional.

So, OK with a comment why this appears?  Or should I simply
rename GFC_DEP_ERROR to GFC_DEP_NODEPFOUND to make this a bit
clearer?

Regards
