Hi all,

attached patch fixes an issue with the coarray API. When a component of a
derived type coarray was referenced using a caf_*_by_ref () function and that
component was not an array with a descriptor, then the type of the component was
not known. Which additionally meant, that type conversion was not applied as
required. This patch fixes that issue by adding type specifiers to the three
caf_*_by_ref-calls and implements the functionality for libcaf_single. This is
harmless because other coarray libraries that do not expect this argument just
ignore it.
Additionally does this patch also provide the first working version of
caf_sendget_by_ref in libcaf_single, which previously only lead to a stack
corruption and was not usable since the array descriptor rework (nice job, btw).

I would like to have this patch in trunk knowing that I am somewhat late, but
it would be quite necessary, because as it is now, the coarray feature for
derived types is hardly usable. Furthermore do some people name this a
regression, because the caf_*_by_ref are also used when the lhs of a
caf_get_by_ref() is allocatable which now does not work as expected anymore but
before gcc-6 using caf_get() (w/o reallocation) did.

Bootstrapped and regtested ok on x86_64-linux/f27. Ok for trunk?

This is OK from the Fortranners perspective. Should touch base with 
release manager.  It looks harmless though it changes coarray API, which 
is hidden behind -fcoarray=

Dear release managers,

this patch (for reference https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2018-02/msg00124.html)
fixes a regression in the coarray api by extending three relatively new
functions with one or two arguments, respectively. The patch has been approved
by gfortran devs. Asking your approval to merge it: Ok to merge to trunk?

Regards,
	Andre

Well, after discussing on IRC whether RM should be bothered, I was asked to
simplify release managers lives and propose, that if no one objects within one
day, I will merge the patch. So any objections?

Hi Andre,

Thanks for your latest work on CAF features.  Could you let us know whether this commit should be tested against the OpenCoarrays master branch or another branch?  With the master branch, I get one test failure (not counting two known teams failures that are actually false negatives that I need to fix):

lib_caf_mpi::sendget_by_ref(): Warning ! sendget_by_ref() is mostly unfunctional due to a design error. Split up your statement with coarray refs on both sides of the assignment when the datatype transfered is non 4-byte-integer compatible.
libcaf_mpi RUNTIME ERROR: Cannot convert type 1 kind 4 to type 0 kind 4

Is the above expected?  Also, because the message comes from sendget, does that mean it only affects lines that involve three images such as the following:

if (this_image()==1) x[2] = x[3]

Whoops, hi Damian,

sorry for my late reply. I just saw your mail. I am still hanging ~2000
Fortran-Mailinglist mails back and because you copied the mailing list, your
mail got filtered to the mailing list folder and I didn't see it in the vast
number or unread mails.

You may test this patch against OpenCoarrays, but without having OC patched it
will not benefit from it. I prepared the gfortran patch to fix exactly the
above error, but haven't had the time to fix Opencoarrays, too. I'd rather get
a better gfortran-8 up and therefore am trying to get pr81773 and 83606 fixed
and get them merged into gfortran-8.

I follow this strategy, because gcc release cycles are less flexible then OCs.
So as soon as I get 81773 and 83606 fixed, I will come back to OC fixing the
type issues.

Sorry for the delayed response. My time is very limited and this last gfortran
fix involved the scalarizer which is a very complicated concept in the gfortran
and I haven't worked with before, therefore a steep learning curve. I hope to
be on track more often soon.

- Andre
