C is different than Fortran.  I am not clear why you are bring that up at all.

Also ICC warns about the code which is why I put in PR 25705 which makes me
question the code  and if other compiler also warns (or even errors out) about
it (by default), it is even more questionable.

Also fortran does have nesting of subroutines, I don't get why you said it is
not, it is a feature of Fortran 90.  You can do something like:
function g(f)
REAL :: g
REAL :: f
g = h()
contains
function h()
REAL :: h
h = f +1.0
end function
end function
