[Bug fortran/40996] New: [F03] ALLOCATABLE scalars

[janus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The ALLOCATABLE attribute was only allowed for arrays in F95, but F03 also
allows allocatable scalars (which will be useful for polymorphism).

Simple example:

real, allocatable :: scalar
allocate(scalar)
scalar = exp(1.)
print *,scalar
deallocate(scalar)
end


With current trunk you get:

as.f90:1.27:

real, allocatable :: scalar
                           1
Error: Scalar object 'scalar' at (1) may not be ALLOCATABLE
as.f90:2.9:

allocate(scalar)
         1
Error: Array specification required in ALLOCATE statement at (1)
