--- Comment #7 from Vittorio Zecca <zeccav at gmail dot com> ---
I believe most times a code knows if and when the size of an array
must be nonzero,
so a zerosize array would raise suspicions in those cases.
Anyway in my opinion gfortran run time should detect when an
unallocated/unassociated array
is referenced and should raise an error situation, except for
allocated intrinsic function.
Only if that were impossible or too much time consuming
I would suggest to force it as a zerosize array
with one as lower bound and zero as upper bound for each dimension.
A clever code should detect that something is wrong and take the right
action (crashing?).
