------- Comment #6 from jb at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-05-09 06:15 ------- Another solution is to have status flags for allocated and associated in the descriptor, IIRC at least Pathscale does this.
Aren't there actually free bits left in the dtype flag that gfortran could use, without requiring to change the descriptor? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35719
