(j3.2006) issues with branching out a BLOCK construct

[Jim Xia]

I can't recall if this has been discussed.  Consider the following code

BLOCK
   real, allocatable :: x(:), y(:)[:]
...
   allocate (x(n))
   allocate (y(n)[*])
...
   if (condition) GO TO 10
,..
END BLOCK


10 .. code to continue
...


The issue is when the execution branches out of the BLOCK construct, what 
happens to local allocatable variables x and y.  Are they automatically 
deallocated? Does standard say anything about their deallocation?  Also 
what happens to the entities require finalizations?  Does branching out of 
a BLOCK construct considered as termination of a BLOCK construct?
