I found the two links that the other emails mentioned, but found both of
them
inadequate and not well documented. I think a complete, documented
F95 API would be very useful. I am willing to help and critique as time
allows;
I would be using gfortran on linux/amd64 if that makes a difference.
I like Arjen's project as it mirrors my design thoughts somewhat. I am
however unsure how it can be done in a compiler independent manner (I
see no such markup in Arjen's work, however, so what am I missing?).
The Fortran standard does not guarantee any particular argument passing
mechanism. It might use pass by reference or value or register at its
own choosing depending on many factors, including optimization settings.
There is no standard way for the application programmer to choose.
Each compiler vendor provides it's own unique method of adjusting
calling mechanisms and many do not by default match C. Some compiler's
are now beginning to support standard conforming mechanisms (which may
not cover all cases still), but that will be rare for a year or two.
I'll be out of town for the next week, hoping for approval to use SQLite
in my project. Without that approval, my incenstive will be less. I do
see this as an important need however.

Hi, this is my first post, so please excuse any etiquette goofs. I'm
researching incorporation of SQLite into a project. It would appear
relatively straightforward to develop an F95 language binding, however
it is likely to be compiler specific (extensions required to adapt
calling syntax to C). Is this a suitable place to ask basic C-oriented
questions relative to the existing API? Also, it would be my desire to
not only map the existing API exactly (as public), but to also create a
small additional layer atop the existing API with a slightly higher
abstraction level to hide some of the low levelness of the API
(pointers, handle passing, etc.). Would anybody be interested in
helping or critiquing as I progress? (I haven't decided to do this yet,
I'm awaiting corporate approval to use public domain software in my
project, which they have refused in the past. This part of the project
would be on my own time so as to not involve company ownership issues).
