We have a project with some novel challenges and I decided that one thing it needs is a balanced binary tree, something I learned about in a data structures class. It meant delving into some new-to-me sides of the Fortran standard, but Fortran 90 supports pointers which should be able to do the job. Because I’m not that familiar with Fortran pointers, I started building my tree with a short test program just to make sure I’m on the right track before including this stuff into the full ROMS code.
I started by creating a treenode object with pointers to the left and right children, plus the parent. I used them to insert objects into a binary tree, no problem. Then I started adding the code so that the tree would be balanced after each insertion, using the standard red-black algorithm that’s in any algorithms textbook. I repeat, this is meat-and-potatoes homework assignment level of algorithm, not something exotic at all. Here’s my f90 version:
MODULE mod_tree

I defy you to find a compiler which does the right thing for this code (or to find a bug in this code to explain this). I’ve tried gfortran, ifort, PGI, and Pathscale. A typical response:
rotate_left before 21.0000000000000 2100
rotate_left after 0.000000000000000E+000 0
forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred
