|
|
<p>Since Fortran 2003 (ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004(E)) there is a
|
|
standardized way to generate procedure and derived-type
|
|
declarations and global variables which are interoperable with C
|
|
(ISO/IEC 9899:1999). The <code>bind(C)</code> attribute has been added
|
|
to inform the compiler that a symbol shall be interoperable with C;
|
|
also, some constraints are added. Note, however, that not
|
|
all C features have a Fortran equivalent or vice versa. For instance,
|
|
neither C’s unsigned integers nor C’s functions with variable number
|
|
of arguments have an equivalent in Fortran.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note that array dimensions are reversely ordered in C and that arrays in
|
|
C always start with index 0 while in Fortran they start by default with
|
|
1. Thus, an array declaration <code>A(n,m)</code> in Fortran matches
|
|
<code>A[m][n]</code> in C and accessing the element <code>A(i,j)</code> matches
|
|
<code>A[j-1][i-1]</code>. The element following <code>A(i,j)</code> (C: <code>A[j-1][i-1]</code>;
|
|
assuming <em>i < n</em>) in memory is <code>A(i+1,j)</code> (C: <code>A[j-1][i]</code>).
