Seitz, ANSI National Body |

| Title
(subject to be covered and type of standard, e.g.
terminology, method of test, performance requirements, etc.)
Further interoperability with C, TR type 2 |
| Scope
(and field of application) An addition to the Fortran
Standard |
| Purpose
and justification - C interoperability in the Fortran
Standard provides a mechanism to share data between Fortran
and C. However, it is still necessary for users to implement a
translation layer for procedures that have data pointer, allocatable,
assumed-shape array, or optional dummy arguments. This work item will
provide additional mechanisms that
allow C functions to directly handle such Fortran dummy arguments. |
