NAG also gives a nice runtime memory trace with -mtrace. I think the following applies: F2018 DIS: 9.7.3.2 Deallocation of allocatable variables 8 When a variable of derived type is deallocated, any allocated allocatable subobject is deallocated. [...] I do not see any mentioning to whether "variable" is ALLOCATABLE or POINTER here.
