Hi Mikael,

Remove the early return present in function templates for
transformational
functions doing a (masked) reduction of an array along a dimension.
This early return, which triggered if the extent in the reduction
dimension
was zero, was wrong because even if the reduction operation
degenerates to
a constant value in that case, one has to loop anyway along the other
dimensions to initialize every element of the resulting array with that
constant value.
The offending piece of code was present in several places, and this
removes
them all. Namely, the impacted m4 files are ifunction.m4 for regular
functions and types, ifunction-s.m4 for character minloc and maxloc, and
ifunction-s2.m4 for character minval and maxval.
I wonder if the correct fix would be to replace (instead of deleting)

See ifunction.m4, lines 56ff, which check if the result of
len = GFC_DESCRIPTOR_EXTENT(array,dim);
is negative. I haven't tried to create a testcase, though.
Similarly for the other templates.
Yes, you're right. I think I won't try to create a testcase and will
just pick your suggestion which seems safer.
