That makes more sense anyway. I always get a bit confused by the
'assumed'/'deferred' nomenclature in the Fortran standard.

Yes, however any CLASS variable must be an allocatable, pointer or dummy. For
the first two, the shape must be deferred anyway.
One remaining problem here is that with the AS_DEFERRED patch, the following is
not rejected (as was the case before):
type :: t
end type
class(t), dimension(3), pointer :: c3
end
With unpatched trunk one gets:
class(t), dimension(3), pointer :: c3
1
Error: Array pointer 'c3' at (1) must have a deferred shape or assumed rank
This check would need to be done before building the class container. Further
problems can appear with dummies. Here is a variant of comment 0:
type t
end type t
type(t) :: b(2)
call s3(b)
contains
subroutine s3(a)
class(t), dimension(3) :: a
print *, shape(a)
end subroutine s3
end
However, one doesn't get any warning or error here (neither with nor without
the patch). With a type(t) dummy, one gets:
call s3(b)
1
Warning: Actual argument contains too few elements for dummy argument 'a' (2/3)
at (1)
