HP Fortran statements
DEALLOCATE
Chapter 10318
Examples
The following example declares a complex array with the POINTER attribute. The ALLOCATE
statement allocates target space to the array at run-time; the amount is determined by the
input values to the READ statement. Later in the program, the DEALLOCATE statement will
recover the space.
COMPLEX, POINTER :: hermitian (:, :)
...
READ *, m, n
ALLOCATE (hermitian (m, n))
...
DEALLOCATE (hermitian, STAT = ierr)
