Array declarators
An array declarator specifies the rank or rank and shape of an array.
You must declare every named array, and no scoping unit can have
more than one array declarator for the same name. An array declarator
can appear in any of the Compatible Statements and Attributes
for Array Declarators table.
| ALLOCATABLE 1 | AUTOMATIC 2 | COMMON |
| DIMENSION | CONTIGUOUS 3 | PARAMETER |
| POINTER (integer) 2 | POINTER | PROTECTED 1 |
| STATIC 2 | TARGET | Type Declaration |
| VOLATILE | ||

For example:
DIMENSION :: A(1:5) ! Declarator is "(1:5)"
REAL, DIMENSION(1,1:5) :: B ! Declarator is "(1,1:5)"
INTEGER C(10) ! Declarator is "(10)"The form of an array declarator is:
- array_spec
- is an array specification. It is a list of dimension declarators,
each of which establishes the lower and upper bounds of an array,
or specifies that one or both will be set at run time. Each dimension
requires one dimension declarator. An array_spec is one of:
- explicit_shape_spec_list
- assumed_shape_spec_list
- deferred_shape_spec_list
- implied_shape_spec_list
- assumed_size_spec
assumed_rank_spec
