Re: workaround for legacy code using fortran integer pointers
yup. That's it.
Not quite Cray pointers, but something related (supposedly only a few
compiler vendor have added this extension, such as IBM, Sun, ...).
It goes like this : POINTER(ip, iarray(*))
In the g77 docs it says that adding this feature is pretty high on the
priority list.
If there are already some prelim implementations out there, I wouldn't mind
serving as a guinea pig.
