Using module variables is a nice way to go. But I don't think that solves all the aliasing problems. No one said it needs to solve all "aliasing problems" (god knows what *exactly* that means). If you can make a list of "all the aliasing problems" we can go through it. But Ian posted a particular example, and my answer that if he puts TARGET on the array extra his example will be conforming and work on any conforming compiler still stands.

Also to Aleks: We've discussed this TARGET attribute for too long. Let's agree to disagree :-). Not really. You simply fail to understand the difference between this example and other "aliasing problems". I would recommend you reread section 12.5.2.4 and most notably the top of page 296 in 09-007r2.

When someone from outside the committee asks a question and there is an official answer we cannot disagree. This is what interps are for. If you want to argue that I can submit an interp and I can guarantee you my answer will be the official one? Best, Aleks
