Pointer arguments

If an actual argument is a pointer then, if the dummy argument is also a pointer,

If the dummy argument is not a pointer, it becomes associated with the target of the actual argument: 

     REAL, POINTER :: a
        :
     ALLOCATE (a(80, 80)
        :
     CALL sub(a)
        :
  SUBROUTINE sub(c)
     REAL c(:, :)
