Hello,

ok, I have thought about your comments in the review process,
and played with the Cray compiler. Attached is a refined version
of the patch that now rejects in addition these cases for which there
are no possible related pointer assignments with bounds remapping:
ASSOCIATED (scalar, array) ! impossible, cannot remap bounds
ASSOCIATED (array, scalar) ! a scalar is not simply contiguous
In principle, it could make sense to construct a one-sized array pointer
(of any rank) pointing to a scalar, but I agree that if we follow the
rules of the standard to the letter, it should be rejected (and we do
reject such a pointer assignment).
So, with this case eliminated, this patch looks good to me as is.
Regarding Toon’s suggestion to ask the fortran committee, it sounds
sensible. I propose to prepare something tomorrow.
