What you have is called an "automatic (explicit) array", which does not need to have initialization expressions for bounds but just specification expressions: 5.3.8.2 Explicit-shape array R516 explicit-shape-spec is [ lower-bound : ] upper-bound R517 lower-bound is specification-expr R518 upper-bound is specification-expr C531 (R516) An explicit-shape-spec whose bounds are not constant expressions shall appear only in a subprogram, derived type de nition, BLOCK construct, or interface body. 7.1.11 Specification expression [...] A function is a specification function if it is a pure function, is not a standard intrinsic function, is not an internal function, is not a statement function, and does not have a dummy procedure argument. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43591
