>From Fortran 2008:
R804 association is associate-name => selector
R805 selector is expr
or variable
R602 variable is designator
or expr
R601 designator is object-name
and "expr" boils down to:
R701 primary is constant
or designator ! See above
or ...
Thus, it boils down to the question whether that's fulfilled for a procedure
pointer.
Note that there such entries, which make me inclined that it is not valid:
R554 saved-entity is object-name
or proc-pointer-name
R639 pointer-object is variable-name [or ...]
or proc-pointer-name
Possible usage of proc-pointer selectors:
associate(f => very%long%name%procptr)
f => something ! << usage as "variable"
a = f(4) + f(7) * f(x) + ... ! << usage as "expr"
where the latter is more useful.
A quick test shows that ifort, pgf95 and crayftn accept proc-pointers in
ASSOCIATE.
