This commit fixes a spurious ‘Expected argument list’ error in GCC’s Fortran compiler when processing component references on inferred-type ASSOCIATE names, as reported in PR125531. Previously, the parser would incorrectly treat a component name as a type-bound procedure. The fix in gfc_match_varspec now retries gfc_find_component with noaccess=true if the default search fails, ensuring that the resolution pass can correctly substitute the final type for inferred-type ASSOCIATE names, preventing false positives.
