To: J3 09-116r1 From: Malcolm Cohen (was Bill Long and John Reid) Subject: Coindexed actual arguments Date: 2009/02/10 1. Discussion It is undesirable to allow sequence association for actual arguments that are coindexed array elements as this could require passing the whole rest of the array (by copy-in/out) instead of just that element. An edit is provided to eliminate this, by requiring the dummy argument to be scalar if the actual argument is coindexed. Sequence association only comes into effect for dummy arrays ([303:4]), so there is no need to change the definition of element sequence. 2. Edits to 09-007 [298:28-30] In 12.5.2.4 Ordinary dummy variables, para. 13, sentence 1, Change "If the actual argument is scalar," to "If the actual argument is a coindexed scalar, the corresponding dummy argument shall be scalar. If the actual argument is a noncoindexed scalar,". ===END===
