c_associated¶
Name¶
c_associated(3) - [ISO_C_BINDING] Status of a C pointer
Synopsis¶
result = c_associated(c_prt_1, [c_ptr_2] )
logical function c_associated(c_prt_1, cptr_2)
TYPE,intent(in) ::c_ptr_1
TYPE,intent(in),optional ::c_ptr_2
Characteristics¶
c_ptr_1 is a scalar of the type c_ptr or c_funptr.
c_ptr_2 is a scalar of the same type as c_ptr_1.
The return value is of type logical
Description¶
c_associated(3) determines the status of the C pointer c_ptr_1 or if c_ptr_1 is associated with the target c_ptr_2.
Options¶
- c_ptr_1
C pointer to test for being a C NULL pointer, or to test if pointing to the same association as c_ptr_2 when present.
- c_ptr_2
C pointer to test for shared association with c_ptr_1
Result¶
The return value is of type logical; it is .false. if either c_ptr_1 is a C NULL pointer or if c_ptr1 and c_ptr_2 point to different addresses.
Examples¶
Sample program:
program demo_c_associated
contains
subroutine association_test(a,b)
use iso_c_binding, only: c_associated, c_loc, c_ptr
implicit none
real, pointer :: a
type(c_ptr) :: b
if(c_associated(b, c_loc(a))) &

c_f_pointer(3) assigns the target (the C pointer cptr) to the Fortran pointer fptr and specifies its shape if fptr points to an array.

- fptr
pointer interoperable with cptr. it is intent(out).

Examples¶
Sample program:
program demo_c_f_pointer

implicit none
interface
subroutine my_routine(p) bind(c,name='myC_func')
import :: c_ptr

real,pointer :: a(:)
call my_routine(cptr)
call c_f_pointer(cptr, a, [12])
end program demo_c_f_pointer

c_f_procpointer¶
Name¶
c_f_procpointer(3) - [ISO_C_BINDING] Convert C into Fortran procedure pointer
Synopsis¶
call c_f_procpointer(cptr, fptr)
subroutine c_f_procpointer(cptr, fptr )
type(c_funptr),intent(in) :: cprt
type(TYPE),pointer,intent(out) :: fprt
Characteristics¶
Description¶
c_f_procpointer(3) assigns the target of the C function pointer cptr to the Fortran procedure pointer fptr.
Options¶
- cptr
scalar of the type c_funptr. It is intent(in).
- fptr
procedure pointer interoperable with cptr. It is intent(out).
Examples¶
Sample program:
program demo_c_f_procpointer
use iso_c_binding
implicit none
abstract interface
function func(a)
import :: c_float
real(c_float), intent(in) :: a
real(c_float) :: func
end function
end interface
interface
function getIterFunc() bind(c,name="getIterFunc")
import :: c_funptr
type(c_funptr) :: getIterFunc
end function
end interface
type(c_funptr) :: cfunptr
procedure(func), pointer :: myFunc
cfunptr = getIterFunc()
call c_f_procpointer(cfunptr, myFunc)
end program demo_c_f_procpointer

c_funloc¶
Name¶
c_funloc(3) - [ISO_C_BINDING] Obtain the C address of a procedure
Synopsis¶
result = c_funloc(x)
Characteristics¶
Description¶
c_funloc(3) determines the C address of the argument.
Options¶
- x
Interoperable function or pointer to such function.
Result¶
The return value is of type c_funptr and contains the C address of the argument.
Examples¶
Sample program:
! program demo_c_funloc and module
module x
use iso_c_binding
implicit none
contains
subroutine sub(a) bind(c)
real(c_float) :: a
a = sqrt(a)+5.0
end subroutine sub
end module x
!
program demo_c_funloc
use iso_c_binding
use x
implicit none
interface
subroutine my_routine(p) bind(c,name='myC_func')
import :: c_funptr
type(c_funptr), intent(in) :: p
end subroutine

call my_routine(c_funloc(sub))

c_loc¶
Name¶
c_loc(3) - [ISO_C_BINDING] Obtain the C address of an object
Synopsis¶
result = c_loc(x)
Characteristics¶
Description¶
c_loc(3) determines the C address of the argument.
Options¶
- x
Shall have either the pointer or target attribute. It shall not be a coindexed object. It shall either be a variable with interoperable type and kind type parameters, or be a scalar, nonpolymorphic variable with no length type parameters.
Result¶
The return value is of type c_ptr and contains the C address of the argument.
Examples¶
Sample program:
subroutine association_test(a,b)
use iso_c_binding, only: c_associated, c_loc, c_ptr
implicit none
real, pointer :: a
type(c_ptr) :: b
if(c_associated(b, c_loc(a))) &
stop 'b and a do not point to same target'
end subroutine association_test

c_sizeof¶
Name¶
c_sizeof(3) - [ISO_C_BINDING] Size in bytes of an expression
Synopsis¶
result = c_sizeof(x)
Characteristics¶
Description¶
c_sizeof(3) calculates the number of bytes of storage the expression x occupies.
Options¶
- x
The argument shall be an interoperable data entity.
Result¶
The return value is of type integer and of the system-dependent kind csize_t (from the iso_c_binding module). Its value is the number of bytes occupied by the argument. If the argument has the pointer attribute, the number of bytes of the storage area pointed to is returned. If the argument is of a derived type with pointer or allocatable components, the return value does not account for the sizes of the data pointed to by these components.
Examples¶
Sample program:
program demo_c_sizeof
use iso_c_binding
implicit none
real(c_float) :: r, s(5)
print *, (c_sizeof(s)/c_sizeof(r) == 5)
end program demo_c_sizeof
Results:
T
The example will print .true. unless you are using a platform where default real variables are unusually padded.
