Some variables cannot be specified as AUTOMATIC or STATIC. The following table shows these
restrictions:
Variable AUTOMATIC STATIC
Dummy argument No No
Automatic object No No
Common block item No Yes
Use-associated item No No
Function result No No
Component of a derived type No No
A variable can be specified with both the STATIC and SAVE attributes.
If a variable is in a module’s outer scope, it can be specified as STATIC, but not as AUTOMATIC.
Examples
The following examples show type declaration statements specifying the AUTOMATIC and
STATIC attributes:
REAL, AUTOMATIC :: A, B, C
INTEGER, STATIC :: ARRAY_A
The following example shows an AUTOMATIC and a STATIC statement:
...
CONTAINS
INTEGER FUNCTION REDO_FUNC
INTEGER I, J(10), K
REAL C, D, E(30)
AUTOMATIC I, J, K(20)
STATIC C, D, E
...
END FUNCTION
...
