can a type member which is a type be a target?

Suppose I have the following setup

 type BarType
     integer :: i
 end type

 type FooType
    type(BarType) :: bar
 end type

I want to have another type

type BazType
   type(BarType), pointer :: barPtr
end type

and set barPtr to point to foo%bar. To do this I would have to declare type(BarType开发者_StackOverflow社区), target :: bar, but I got an error. I didn't investigate further, and decided to change strategy, but just for curiosity, do you know if this is allowed ?

I'm not an expert on the standard, but the way I read it, a derived-type component can not have the target attribute; if you want to associate a pointer with such a component, you have to declare the parent object as target.
