[J3] Polymorphic C_LOC actual argument pointer-associated with an interoperable type: conforming?

[Malcolm Cohen]

Hi Bill,

 

I think that C_LOC appears to be defective, as in, whoever tried to permit assumed-type arguments here earlier forgot to modify C_LOC to make it acceptable.  That is, C_LOC needs explicit permission for assumed-type.

 

This should probably be raised at the upcoming meeting (though it’s too late for country comments).  We will probably be in a position to handle additional uncontroversial bug fixes.  (If we don’t have time before final standardisation we should probably raise an interp.)

 

Cheers,

C710 seems to allow assumed-type arguments to C_LOC() [a special case that was intentionally allowed], and an assumed-type entity is an unlimited polymorphic entity. Whereas the specification for C_LOC() in clause 18 seems to disallow polymorphic arguments. Would Damian’s program be conforming if the CLASS(*) declarations are changed to TYPE(*)?

Cheers,
Bill
