Subject: [Patch, fortran v2] PR fortran/92621 Problems with memory

Hi all!
Proposed patch to:
PR92621 - Problems with memory handling with allocatable intent(out)
arrays with bind(c)
Patch tested only on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
The code currently generated tries to deallocate the undefined
artificial cfi.n pointer before it is associated with the allocatable array.
Since the cfi.n pointer is undefined attempting to free it is really a
bad idea and it will frequently segfault.
Consequently, since the deallocation is done before the cfi.n pointer is
associated with anything, the allocatable array is never freed, like it
should, and it will be passed still allocated causing subsequent
attempts to allocate it to fail.
Version 2 is basically a ping, fixes a typo, replaces an if block with a
flag to make reviewing easier and replaces a call to malloc with calloc
to make Valgrind happy.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
José Rui
