You forgot to precise that this case (which is basically comment #4 in 
the PR) is *not* fixed by the patch, as it fails later on at translation 
stage.
I have made up my mind that it's not possible for the middle-end to 
build such a recursive type.  So `arg' will have to have a variadic 
function type.  No patch yet, sorry; I have just figured it out.

I forgot the reason why we are so reluctant to do it.  Module versions 
are not a rare resource.  I'm in favor of bumping (and any time we 
change module format).


About the patch, one nit:


The comment should probably be removed as well.

OK from my side;  you may or may not need someone else's ack as I'm the 
coauthor.
Or maybe wait for the fix for comment #4?

I would rather commit the fixes now, just on general principles.
If any regression should occur, it would be easier to pinpoint
the reason.

yes, I just silently ignored that fact.

Don't worry. I agree with Thomas that this should preferably be done
in a follow-up patch. (The hard part is probably to detect all the
cases of 'recursive' definitions, also the indirect ones.)

I'm also ok with a bump, but of course it would be preferable to have
a stable ABI and module format at some point. As a matter of fact, the
module format has changed in all recent releases, though (that's why
we introduced the module versioning, after all).

Well, it still applies to 'tb' ...

Certainly a second review/opinion could not hurt.

I'm attaching an updated patch, which includes the module-version bump now.

Rather not (technically it's a separate issue, I guess).

Cheers,

Hi Janus,

While the patch is rather large, I think it is OK.

One request:  Could you add a comment to gfc_sym_get_dummy_args
explaining what the function does and under which conditions sym->formal
is NULL, while sym->ts.interface->formal isn't?

Regards

thanks for the review. I have added the comment to
gfc_sym_get_dummy_args that you requested, and committed the patch as
r195562.

Cheers,
