Error description
The compiler incorrectly generates an (E) message for object of derived type when the type is empty. ===== COMPILE COMMAND: bgxlf2008 -c -qhalt=e foo.F ===== TESTCASE: % cat foo.F module foo type :: foo_t end type foo_t contains type(foo_t) function bar() end function bar end module foo % ===== ACTUAL OUTPUT: bgxlf2008 -c -qhalt=e foo.F "foo.F", 1513-083 (E) Internal or module function bar was not set within the function. ** foo === End of Compilation 1 === 1501-511 Compilation failed for file foo.F. ===== EXPECTED OUTPUT: Compiler should not issue an (E) message for the above test case.

Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: When user applications include functions with results of derived types with no components, users may encounter this problem. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a function result is of a derived type with no components, and the function result is not explicitly defined inside the function, compilation fails with an error message. Compiler should accept such cases as objects of derived-type with no components are considered as defined.
Problem conclusion
The problem has been fixed such that the compiler now accepts such cases as objects of derived-type with no components are considered as defined.
