Using realloc-lhs with size 0 array

[OP1]

When A is an allocatable array, provided that the option /assume:realloc_lhs is used, the following syntax is correct:

A= [1,2,3]

But how do I allocate A to size 0 (short of a proper ALLOCATE statement)? A = [] does not work (with IVF 11.1). It's a bit of an academic questoin, but for debugging purposes it's quite helpful.

Thanks,

You might try:

A = [ (i, i=1,0) ]

I do not know why your original statement does not work, but the above creates a zero-length

array explicitly, so I expect it to do the trick.

Put a type-spec in the array-constructor.

A = [ INTEGER :: ]

Thanks Ian - it works! It does look a bit weird, certainly.

What is the data type on the rhs with

A = []

?

Fortran does not have a "void" type, but it does have an empty array of (specified) type.

Jim,

It's an INTEGER allocatable array. I was looking for the convenience of A = []. Ian suggestion works.
