Syntax of DEALLOCATE

[OP1]

Let's consider the statement "DEALLOCATE(MY_ARRAY,STAT=ERROR)".

In what cases would a memory deallocation attempt would be unsuccessful (and therefore justifying the STAT=ERROR part of the statement) ?

Thanks!

From the help :
"If the DEALLOCATE statement specifies an array that is not currently allocated, an error occurs."

also

"If no STAT variable is specified and an error condition occurs, program execution terminates."

Thatmeans you can code your program defensively to ignore this error if it occurs by specifying STAT and testing or ignoring it. If STAT is not there, then the program stops if an error occurs.

If MY_ARRAY is a POINTER that is not pointing to a whole, allocated array then you'd get an error as well.

Oh, I see. I forgot about the pointer case for an array subsection.

Thanks a lot!
