Yes, there are attributes that can be applied to types so I do not want to change that. The problem I am seeing is only with array variables and if you see the function direct_delcalartor, when it starts processing array variables, the ctye gets reassigned with the type of the variables instead of the ctype of the variable itself and in the next iteration the attribute will be applied to the ctype of the type of the variable. May be a patch specific to array variable will solve the problem.
