Prototype Design Pattern Implementation in Fortran

Although the modern systems have lots of computing power, there are some operations which still become a bottleneck. Disk I/O and database access being few of them. Prototype design pattern is a creational pattern which is used to duplicate/clone objects keeping performance in mind. For example, a system where disk I/O is expensive can reference the same pointer when creating different objects of the same class.

Following is an implementation of the pattern using Fortran:
