Hi Alan,
I have tested the latest version of the Fortran examples on three Windows
platforms (all 64-bits but not yet in all details, that is not for all examples
I have tried all API variants). For Cygwin and MinGW-w64 I found no problems,
but I did for bare Windows with Intel Fortran. I first feared for some obscure
bug in the way we deal with callbacks and such, but it turned out to be a
feature (or quirk, if you like) of Intel Fortran.
The Fortran 2003 standard says that allocatable arrays that appear on the
left-hand side of an assignment are automatically (re)allocated if necessary.
For Intel Fortran this behaviour requires an explicit compiler option
(-assume:lhs_realloc). Since this is not included in our build scripts, the
examples that use this fail. In my private repository I have added the explicit
allocation statements and that gives correct results (at least as far as the my
eyes are concerned - I need to formally verify it by comparing output files).
Anyway, the message at this moment is: the Fortran binding is doing fine on the
mentioned platforms and I need to make a few small changes to the examples (the
allocate statements and a comment about why they are used).
Some more extensive tests are required, but things are looking quite good.
Regards,
Arjen
