Ditto for procedure pointers. > Sun Studio 12 and 12.1 (8.4 2009/06/03) show: Does not support procedure pointers.

I think in terms of the Fortran standard it is not a variable: "A variable is either the data object denoted by designator or the target of expr." (Fortran2008, "6.2 Variable") - and 5.3.14 strictly distinguishes betwixt data and procedure pointers. However, that still does not tell whether OpenMPv3 allows procedure pointers; as OpenMP is based on Fortran 90/95, one cannot expect a real answer in the specification. Still, the definition for variable in OpenMPv3 seems to allow it. > is something we want to do. Bu But ? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44036
