            Bug ID: 103931
           Summary: Type name "c_ptr" is ambiguous when iso_c_binding is
                    imported both directly and indirectly
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.2.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

full testcase demonstrating the bug

Compiling the attached test case fails for me on gfortran 11.2.1 20210728 (Red
Hat 11.2.1-1):

$ gfortran -c gcc-ambiguous-cptr.f90
gcc-ambiguous-cptr.f90:97:19:

   97 |       type (C_PTR) :: context
      |                   1
Error: Type name ‘c_ptr’ at (1) is ambiguous

(Sorry for the convoluted module structure, I can't seem to reduce it further
without making the issue disappear.)

The issue occurs in this piece of code:

   subroutine HProc()
      use FModule
      use ISO_C_BINDING
      use GModule

      type (C_PTR) :: context
   end subroutine

Here, both FModule and GModule use ISO_C_BINDING indirectly in different ways,
so their module files contain c_ptr which gets picked up. Apparently, c_ptr
then gets marked as ambiguous by check_for_ambiguous() in
module.c:read_module() while reading GModule.

After compiling it once as above to generate all the modules, you can add "-cpp
-DNODEPS=1" for further testing to focus on the problematic part (using
existing module files).

Strangely enough, gfortran 9.3.1 20200804 compiles the test without errors when
compiling everything but fails with the above error with NODEPS. gfortran 11
fails in both modes. Not sure if that counts as a regression or if it's just a
random coincidence. I can bisect that if desired.
