<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>Something like this would work:</p>
<div class="codehilite language-fortran"><pre><span></span> <span class="k">type </span><span class="n">inaccessible</span>
<span class="kt">integer</span> <span class="kd">::</span> <span class="n">dummy</span>
<span class="k">end type</span>
<span class="k"> type</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">inaccessible</span><span class="p">),</span> <span class="k">intent</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">IN</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="kd">::</span> <span class="n">alp</span>
<span class="kt">integer</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">parameter</span> <span class="kd">::</span> <span class="n">cctki_use_alp</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">kind</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">alp</span><span class="p">%</span><span class="n">dummy</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Trying to access it via eg <code>foo = alp</code> produces an error:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>Error: Cannot convert TYPE(inaccessible) to INTEGER(4) at (1)</code></p>
</blockquote>
