Thanks Tobias, I am wanting to call this function right before we hit the gimplify_function_tree (), so I guess I am right before the middle-end.......

Unless, of course, one goes the route which Richard once suggested: Adding array and scalarizer support to the middle end, http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GCCGathering2011Fortran#Scalarizer (See all three links; mistakes in the Wiki are mine, made when I tried to summarize/understand Richard's draft patches. The project got stalled as there was not enough developer time on the Fortran side and as the current approach works relatively well. ME support would be beneficial as it would allow for certain optimizations which are not possible in the front end.) Tobias
