Salvatore,
It's great to see work being done on TR 15581.
That said, have you considered implementing MOVE_ALLOC ?
Erik is the one who is doing most of the work! I am just acting as
publicist.... MOVE_ALLOC is on my list as part of this work. We have
an immense amount to do to get the fundamentals right, though. When we
get the automatic nulling, on procedure entry, and automatic
deallocation, on departure or temporary passing, working and are
convinced that there are no memory leaks, then we have to make sure that
operator overloading works, so that equalities, for example, work
correctly, and to get structure constructors operational. Then there
are the constraints (eg. structures with allocatable components not
being allowed in equivalences) and.... finally, the likes of
MOVE_ALLOC. Patience, it will come!
To me at least it looks like a natural thing to do while working on this
issue.
Agreed.
Thanks.
Thank Erik in particular.
Paul
