The compiler can't diagnose your syntax error, where you declare a with
intent(in), although I suppose it could in principle if it could scan the
source of dgemm.  It should diagnose a syntax error when you don't set
rank, and I can't see how you could get results without rank.  I don't see
your complaint about how dgemm fills a; it seems, contrary to what you
show, that you may have declared a such that size(a,1) is 2, and the
result then is what you requested.
I don't see how any of the stuff you mention could be deemed "correct" if
you don't provide correct source code.
