[Bug fortran/27958] New: assignments to and from zero-sized string selections not handled

[fxcoudert at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following code is legal, but segfaults at runtime when compiled with
gfortran:

$ cat a.f90 
  character(len=10) :: s
  s = "abcdefghij"
  s(6:5) = s(7:5)
  print *, s
  end
$ ifort a.f90 -check all && ./a.out
 abcdefghij
$ gfortran a.f90 && ./a.out   
zsh: segmentation fault  ./a.out
