(j3.2006) Is an explicit-shape array dummy argument with the VALUE attribute interoperable?

[Daniel C Chen]

Hello,

The standard allows an explicit-shape array dummy argument to have the
VALUE attribute, but it doesn't explicitly say if such a dummy argument is
interoperable or not.

I found the following in 15-007r1:

"A Fortran procedure interface is interoperable with a C function prototype
if
...

[461:12] "(4) any scalar dummy argument with the VALUE attribute is
interoperable with the corresponding formal parameter of the prototype,

..."

Should this be relaxed to remove the word "scalar"?

Thanks,

Daniel
