Error: Dynamic allocation inside a structure for old version ifc

[Wee_Beng_T_]

hi,

i've a code which use dynamic allocation inside a structure, something like:

type block

integer :: size_x,size_y

real(8), allocatable :: p(:,:)

end type block

type(block), allocatable :: blk(:)

it works when i compile using ifort. however when i tried to compile it on another of my university's server which uses ifc, it gives me an error 24, syntax error.

is this feature not supported in ifc, which is an older version of the compiler?

thank you!

Exactly right. That feature is from the Fortran 2003 standard and ifc 7.x and earlier does not support it. You can use POINTER instead of ALLOCATABLE, but the semantics are subtlly different, especially if you assign one variable of type block to another.
