The DISTRIBUTE Directive

H305 distribute-directive	is DISTRIBUTE distributee dist-directive-stuff
H306 dist-directive-stuff	is dist-format-clause [ dist-onto-clause ]
H307 dist-attribute-stuff	is dist-directive-stuff or dist-onto-clause
H308 distributee	is object-name or template-name
H309 dist-format-clause	is ( dist-format-list ) or * ( dist-format-list ) or *
H310 dist-format	is BLOCK [ ( scalar-int-expr ) ] or CYCLIC [ ( scalar-int-expr ) ] or *
H311 dist-onto-clause	is ONTO dist-target
H312 dist-target	is processors-name or * processors-name or *

• An object-name mentioned as a distributee must be a simple name and not a subobject designator or a component-name.
• An object-name mentioned as a distributee may not appear as an alignee.
• An object-name mentioned as a distributee may not have the POINTER attribute.
• An object-name mentioned as a distributee may not have the TARGET attribute.
• If the distributee is scalar, the dist-format-list (and its surrounding parentheses) must not appear. In this case, the statement form of the directive is allowed only if a dist-format-clause of ``*'' is present.
• If a dist-format-list is specified, its length must equal the rank of each distributee to which it applies.
• If both a dist-format-list and a dist-target appear, the number of elements of the dist-format-list that are not ``*'' must equal the rank of the specified processor arrangement.
• If a dist-target appears but not a dist-format-list, the rank of each distributee must equal the rank of the specified processor arrangement.
• If either the dist-format-clause or the dist-target in a DISTRIBUTE directive begins with ``*'' then every distributee must be a dummy argument.
• Any scalar-int-expr appearing in a dist-format of a DISTRIBUTE directive must be a specification-expr.
