[flang-commits] [flang] [flang] Don't misinterpret valid component value for ancestor type (PR #161910)

https://github.com/klausler created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/161910

As a common language extension, this compiler accepts a structure constructor whose first value has no keyword and whose type matches an ancestral type as if the constructor had had a keyword whose name was the ancestral type.  For example, given
  TYPE PARENT; REAL X; END TYPE
  TYPE, EXTENDS(PARENT) :: CHILD; END TYPE
we accept the nonconforming constructor "child(parent(1.))" as if it had been the conforming "child(1.)" or "child(parent=parent(1.))".

The detection of this case needs to be constrained a bit to avoid a false positive misinterpretation of conforming code in the case where the actual first component of the derived type is a POINTER or ALLOCATABLE whose type and rank would allow it to correspond with the keywordless first value in the component value list.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/161887.

Subject: [PATCH] [flang] Don't misinterpret valid component value for ancestor
 type

As a common language extension, this compiler accepts a structure
constructor whose first value has no keyword and whose type matches
an ancestral type as if the constructor had had a keyword whose
name was the ancestral type.  For example, given
  TYPE PARENT; REAL X; END TYPE
  TYPE, EXTENDS(PARENT) :: CHILD; END TYPE
we accept the nonconforming constructor "child(parent(1.))" as if it
had been the conforming "child(1.)" or "child(parent=parent(1.))".

The detection of this case needs to be constrained a bit to avoid
a false positive misinterpretation of conforming code in the case
where the actual first component of the derived type is a POINTER
or ALLOCATABLE whose type and rank would allow it to correspond
with the keywordless first value in the component value list.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/161887.
