I have the following program
module test
contains
subroutine foo()
integer, allocatable :: a(:)
allocate(a(-5:5))
call bar(a)
print *, a
end subroutine
subroutine bar(a)
integer, intent(out) :: a(:)
a = 0
a(-4) = 3 ! here
a(2) = 3
end subroutine
end module
program x
use test
call foo()
end program
In the line marked with "here" I am doing something wrong. The fact is that when I receive the array a
(in the caller allocated from -5 to +5), the callee uses conventional numbering (1 to n), meaning that assigning -4 I am doing an out of boundary assignment. How can I instruct the compiler that, within the bar
routine, the numbering of the a
array must be the same as in the caller ?
