Fortran has bound arrays and more explicit pointers. If bounds checking isn't enabled, it is still possible for some level of aliasing to happen, but it would most likely be an error, not the intention of the programmer. In general, there are far fewer places in Fortran code where the compiler must make the assumption that array references could be aliases of each other.
