[Bug fortran/20541] TR 15581: ALLOCATABLE components


------- Additional Comments From post at tillmann-wegst dot de  2005-07-29 08:21 -------
I found that code containing allocatable fields in type statements compiles 
without complaints using "g95", so I was a bit perplex when moving to gfortran 
and getting the same error as reported here. 

Consulting Metcalf et al, "fortran 95/2003 explained", chap. 7.12, pages 149f., 
I did not find anything as to a conflict between attributes "allocatable" 
and "dimension". Has there been a change in the Fortran95 specs? 

If it is not a gfortran bug, what would be a work-around? Declare the variable 
as a pointer, allocate the array in a subroutine and then direct the pointer 
variable to it? That seems like a way out, though clumsy.
