I'm afraid that finding this in the standard is not quite easy. I guess the idea is that you point to something which is a subobject of variable with pointer attribute. Maybe Tobias can find this? The closest I come is actually in IBM's compiler manual: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cellcomp/v9v111/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.xlf111.cell.doc/xlflr/f90pass.htm target is a variable or expression. If it is a variable, it must have the TARGET attribute (or be a subobject of such an object) or the POINTER attribute. It isn't that terrible, I think. you still can't point to allocatable arrays, if e.g. they are local variables, or just part of derived types that do not have the pointer attribute.
