Can I use an allocatable array as a function dummy argument? If yes, is there any situation this is needed?

More generally, allocatable arrays may be used anywhere a non-allocatable array may be used. That they are allocatable matters in a procedure call only if you wish to change the allocation status in the procedure, in which case you must declare the dummy (procedure) argument to be ALLOCATABLE.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I meant, I keep hitting the language barrier every now and then I’ll edit that for clarity
