SIZE used on unallocated array

[Andrew_Smith]

I request a new debugging option to trap this. The current behaviour of Intel Fortran is returning 0 and raising no error. This is probably the worst choice since it often hides the problem.

In my opinion, it's a bug that /check:pointer doesn't catch this. I will submit this. 02941404

Steve,

Thank you for submitting this report via Online Service Center. It was escalated to development for a fix.

It seems 8 years later, SIZE still returns 0 for unallocated arrary and does not trap. (IFX 2025.1)

This is a nightmare for writing portable code.

Please fix /check:pointer.
