I agree. In fact my feeling is that we should get rid of the use
of SAVE_EXPR wherever possible.
That's OK with me, as long as we have a way of expressing that in
SUBROUTINE SUB(A, N)
DIMENSION A(N)
N = N + 1
DO I = 1, N - 1
PRINT*, A(I)
END DO
PRINT*, N
END
still works correctly and both
1. Prints A(1 .. original N)
2. Prints original N + 1 at the end.
Hope this helps,
