Re: Standards conforming or not?

The size of the * dimension is simply not available,
And that is the central concept here. All the rest is the standard
elaborating the consequences of that in detail.

So, to solve the OP's problem, he could write instead

call sub(a(1:5), 5)

with the declaration

subroutine sub(a, n)
integer n
real a(n)

as perhaps the "smallest-possible change".

But what stops you from using an explicit interface, via a MODULE or other-
wise?
