--- Comment #7 from relliott at umn dot edu ---
Hello,
I just want to make one think certain. You quoted section 6.3.3.1 of the
J3/04-007 document to show that a NAMED local allocatable variable would be
deallocated at the end of a routine.
However, it is unclear to me that this applies to a POINTER variable (as I have
in my skeleton code).
In Section 6.3.1.2 is says:
Allocation of a pointer creates an object that implicitly has the TARGET
attribute. Following successful execution of an ALLOCATE statement for a
pointer, the pointer is associated with the target and may be used to
reference or define the target
This seems to say that an UNNAMED allocatable target object is created when the
allocate statement for a pointer variable is executed. In which case, section
6.3.3.1 is not applicable.
Can you help me to understand why this is not the case?
Many thanks,
Ryan
