Re: Fwd: gfortran - pointers to components of derived type arrays

I was hoping that you could use the 4th argument of NULL ARRAY_REF.
However tree.def claims this is specified "in units of the alignment of the
element type", which seems a particularly bizarre definition. Maybe we can
get it changed to be a byte offset, and always specify it as 1.

The units of the alignment of the element type are BITS_PER_UNIT long. Is there any platform of interest to gfortran where this is other than 8 bits?
