[J3] [EXTERNAL] [BULK] Clarification needed on finalization

[Jean Perier]

Hi Malcolm,



I am may have missed a quote here, I am not used to mailing lists, apologies. The quote I see says: "When an allocatable entity is deallocated [...]"


Where in the standard is it written that allocatable components of structure and array constructor values are deallocated?

"9.7.3.2 " only talks about function results and variables, not structure and array constructor values.
Hence, I think there may be a small gap here, and even though this may fall in the category of "obvious", specifying the how and when is important (proof is: 3 behaviors in the wild, not a favor for the users).

Jean

Hi Jean,

> I will make the outrageous claim that the standard conformant implementation would be to have the memory leaks.

I already quoted the text that said otherwise.

Outrageous claims will be ignored.
