(j3.2006) Are there 2008/2015 equivalents of 2003 C.9.6?

[Damian Rouson]

All,

Fortran 2003 constraint C.9.6 includes the following text:

"If a dummy argument is declared to be a pointer, it may be matched only by an actual argument that also is a pointer, and the characteristics of both arguments shall agree. A model for such an association is that descriptor values of the actual pointer are copied to the dummy pointer?"

I haven't found similar language in Fortran 2008 or in the Fortran 2015 February draft (17-007r1). I assume that constraint C.10.4 in 2008 and 2015 are the descendants of 2003 C.9.6 -- at least the titles match -- but in 2008/2015, C.10.4 is written very differently from 2003 C.9.6 and I can't discern any vestiges of the above quoted language. ?Does similar?language appear somewhere else or was it dropped from the standard? ?A?related coding question appears at the beginning of the comp.lang.fortran thread:
