Abstract

Modern Fortran automates dynamic memory deallocations, except in two cases: memory allocated via pointers and via a second language at the request of a Fortran driver. This article focuses on the second exception and presents a reference-counting architecture that requires minimal user intervention to safely free memory if and only if no references remain.
