Or to use "TYPE(*),DIMENSION(..)" as proposed in a Technical Report (that part was requested by the MPI forum); see N1761 and N1766 at http://www.nag.co.uk/SC22WG5/. I think those parts of the TR might get relatively quickly implemented, but it won't happen before there is more consensus at J3/WG5 (cf. N1766). (In reply to comment #1) > Really I think this is a bad idea. I agree. The TR solution seems to fix this and then I don't see any advantage of a gfortran 4.5 with "!$GCC attributes no_arg_check" compared to a gfortran 4.5 with "TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..)". If you see something which is not covered by the TR, can you contact Bill Long to make sure it will be considered for inclusion? Of you still think something !$GCC should be added, can you explain why the TR is not sufficient? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39505
