--- Comment #12 from DIL <liakhdi at ornl dot gov> --- Could you please tell me if there is a way I can check whether the dissociated unlimited polymorphic pointer (class(*), pointer), which is set to NULL, is indeed set to a clean state internally? That is, could you please tell me the size and structure of the internal representation of a class(*) pointer and what the proper values of those components would be when the pointer is set to NULL()? I am still trying to understand why the sourced allocate() statement sees that pointer as ALLOCATED. Basically, I want to inspect the internal state of the class(*) NULL pointer to make sure that the problem indeed occurs inside the sourced allocate() statement. Thanks!
