search the forum & assumed shape arrays

[Izaak_Beekman]

Am I being dense? Is there a way to ONLY search the forum? I remember a discussion about how the compiler treats assumed shape arrays (pointer, allocation on stack, etc.) but am having trouble pulling up the search results.

Do assumed shape arrays get additional memory allocated and copied? Does it depend on their INTENT ?

Thanks, and sorry if I'm missing something obvious

It is easy to miss - on the forum main page, in the gray bar underneath the page numbers, is a link Search Forum.

Assumed-shape array dummy arguments do not cause copies under any conditions. An explicit interface is required to be visible to the caller if the called routine has an assumed-shape dummy argument.
