           Summary: [OOP] TRANSFER with polymorphic MOLD=
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: burnus@gcc.gnu.org
                CC: janus@gcc.gnu.org


Cf. http://j3-fortran.org/pipermail/j3/2010-December/004026.html

Currently, the declared type is used for MOLD= in TRANSFER. It seems as if the
effective type should be used instead.


This is a tracker bug as the standard is a bit ambiguous about it; I assume
that there will be an IR (interpretation request) about it.


Currently, F2008 just has:

MOLD shall be a scalar or array of any type. If it is a variable, it need not
be defined.

Result Characteristics. The result is of the same type and type parameters as
MOLD.
