------- Comment #1 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-01-16 21:50 ------- Fortran 95: "Constraint: A namelist-group-object shall not be an array dummy argument with a nonconstant bound, a variable with nonconstant character length, an automatic object, a pointer, a variable of a type that has an ultimate component that is a pointer, or an allocatable array."
Actually, I have problems to find this constrain explicitly in Fortran 2003. I believe it must be buried in the last paragraph. "5.4 NAMELIST statement" "C574 (R553) A namelist-group-object shall not be an assumed-size array." "A namelist group object shall either be accessed by use or host association or shall have its type, type parameters, and shape specified by previous specification statements or the procedure heading in the same scoping unit or by the implicit typing rules in effect for the scoping unit. If a namelist group object is typed by the implicit typing rules, its appearance in any subsequent type declaration statement shall confirm the implied type and type parameters." -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30481
