Pointer arguments for TRANSFER function

Jon_D

The authors of some source code I have found over the internet (regarding the treatment of generic linked lists under www.fortran.com) claim that TRANSFER function does not accept pointer arguments. However, simple tests that I have performed with IVF 10.1.21 suggest that TRANSFER does accept pointer arguments. Is this a compiler specific behavior? Would other compilers complain about it?

Thanks,
Jon

I don't see anything in the Fortran standard to exclude pointer arguments from TRANSFER. Of course, such arguments will be automatically dereferenced so you are accessing the data, not the pointer, just like in any other variable reference.
