Re: Pointers to functions: Is this the right [f03] syntax?

I've made a couple fixes and the current g95 can compile and run this
code fine now. I am worried that things may be a little too loose in
that the pointer p in the original code points to a subroutine, then
later on a function,

I don't see that in the code posted here, though I suppose it might be
so in the prior posting to gg95 (I don't often read that group).

I can't seem to find anything prohibiting
that. Did I miss something?

I'd have to see the code (as mentioned above, I don't see anything like
that in the posting here). But I guess even then, I wouldn't be sure.
Seems to me I recall some debate on related questions (even without
pointer involvement - might have been dummy args, which are like
pointers in some senses). I'm not sure whether it was definitively
answered.

I can give a definitive answer as to my opinion of a coding practice
that would do that, but that's a different question. :-)
