I've been looking to use CUDA Fortran and/or OpenACC to accelerate some kernels in a moderately large code I work with (which is written in OO F03). However, I've been encountering several issues compiling with PGI.

I've created a small test program that demonstrates the current issues I'm observing, which seem to be related to allocatable arrays in user defined derived types. Any thoughts on what sorts of support should be coming out in future releases? Or work-arounds to these issues?

Hi sgs,

The problem with this code is that "thisVector" isn't polymorphic. What error are you getting? What version of the compiler are you using?

We did add support allocatable arrays in user defined derived types a few years ago (sorry I've forgotten the exact version) so you're issue may be solved by using the latest compiler version.

Mat,

Thanks for your reply. I see that my small test program was incorrect. However,I'm made a slight modification so thisVector is polymorphic. This compiles fine with gfortran, but not pgi (at least with version 12.9.0) as far as I can tell.

Thanks SGS,

I sent this to one of our engineers who determine it is indeed a compiler error but as he puts it, " albeit a very strange one". I submitted a problem report, TPR#19094.

The work around is to change "TYPE IS" to "CLASS IS".

Thanks for the report,
Mat

Interesting. Yeah, we've definitely had some trouble with some of the object oriented-ness in general. We have a lot of extra SELECTTYPE statements as work arounds for Intel windows compilers. We'll see how it goes...at least until the next version is released.

Thanks for your time.
