<h4 class="subsection">6.1.21 <code>UNION</code> and <code>MAP</code></h4>
|
|
<a name="index-UNION"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-MAP"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>Unions are an old vendor extension which were commonly used with the
|
|
non-standard <a href="STRUCTURE-and-RECORD.html#STRUCTURE-and-RECORD">STRUCTURE and RECORD</a> extensions. Use of <code>UNION</code> and
|
|
<code>MAP</code> is automatically enabled with <samp>-fdec-structure</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A <code>UNION</code> declaration occurs within a structure; within the definition of
|
|
each union is a number of <code>MAP</code> blocks. Each <code>MAP</code> shares storage
|
|
with its sibling maps (in the same union), and the size of the union is the
|
|
size of the largest map within it, just as with unions in C. The major
|
|
difference is that component references do not indicate which union or map the
|
|
component is in (the compiler gets to figure that out).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Here is a small example:
|
|
</p><div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">structure /myunion/
|
|
union
|
|
map
|
|
character(2) w0, w1, w2
|
|
end map
|
|
map
|
|
character(6) long
|
|
end map
|
|
end union
|
|
end structure
|
|
|
|
record /myunion/ rec
|
|
! After this assignment...
|
|
rec.long = 'hello!'
|
|
|
|
! The following is true:
|
|
! rec.w0 === 'he'
|
|
! rec.w1 === 'll'
|
|
! rec.w2 === 'o!'
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The two maps share memory, and the size of the union is ultimately six bytes:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Byte offset
|
|
-------------------------------
