The symbol was added with Rev. 126185 (2007-07-01) and removed with Rev. 135877
(2008-05-25). The first SoC 2008 proc pointer patch was Rev. 137386 on
2008-07-02.
However, I just saw that due to missing argument checking the following works
in gfortran 4.3:
use iso_c_binding
type(c_ptr) :: fun
integer, pointer :: bar
call c_f_funpointer(fun,bar) ! <<< Invalid; should be C_F_POINTER
end
The program is *invalid* as c_f_funpointer is for FUN(ction) pointers - for
normal pointers, one shall use c_f_pointer - but due to missing argument
checking it was accepted.
As one cannot rule out that some invalid program uses c_f_funpointer, I will
submit a patch which re-adds it. (I think the probability that c_f_funpointer
is used is extremely low, though.)
