Re: Question on variable_size and function-at-a-time

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,
