[J3] intrinsic procedures and assumed-rank

[Malcolm Cohen]

Assumed-rank arrays can be associated with assumed-size arrays.

 

That’s not a problem for SHAPE et al (we return a silly value for the final dimension), but it’s impossible to do MAXVAL if you don’t know the actual size of the array.

There almost certainly was a discussion of this at some point in the past, but I am seeing that while SHAPE(), SIZE(), UBOUND(), etc, can be used with an assumed-rank array, other things like MAXVAL() and MAXLOC() can not. I do not immediately see any reason why those could not be similarly extended, except maybe handling the case with MASK present would induce some (small) overhead?

Could this be changed in F202x or more likely F202y?
