The following (see URL above) is valid but gfortran rejects it with:
 Error: Pointer assignment target has PROTECTED attribute at (1)

> C538:
>
> "A pointer object that has the PROTECTED attribute and is accessed by
> use association shall not appear as (1) A pointer-object in a pointer-
> assignment-stmt..."
>
> C538 doesn't forbid using a protected pointer as the target of a
> pointer-assignment-stmt.

module m
  implicit none
  integer, pointer, protected :: protected_pointer
end module m

program p
  use m
  implicit none
  integer, pointer :: unprotected_pointer
  unprotected_pointer => protected_pointer
end program p
