https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Querying-interface-of-a-procedure-in-a-DLL/m-p/1095980#M125437 <P>I suspect the answer to my question is No (it's that kind of day), but it doesn't hurt to ask... Is it in any way possible to test whether a procedure in a DLL has a certain interface? I'm using LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress/C_F_PROCPOINTER to access a procedure from a dynamically loaded DLL (see Intel's DynamicLoad example). However, it would be great if I could verify in some way that the procedure I'm loading actually has the correct interface. It seems like I just have to hope for the best. Any ideas?</P> <P>EDIT: I realize I could manually examine a particular DLL, but what I'm after is a way for my program to do this internally. In my case, these are DLL's that my users are writing and loading themselves, so I want to issue a helpful warning message if they did something wrong (other than the program just crashing).</P> Tue, 19 Apr 2016 14:07:00 GMT Jacob_Williams 2016-04-19T14:07:00Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Querying-interface-of-a-procedure-in-a-DLL/m-p/1095980#M125437 <P>I suspect the answer to my question is No (it's that kind of day), but it doesn't hurt to ask...

I think that is what type libraries were invented for and sundry other mechanisms.</P> Tue, 19 Apr 2016 14:10:15 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Querying-interface-of-a-procedure-in-a-DLL/m-p/1095981#M125438 Arjen_Markus 2016-04-19T14:10:15Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Querying-interface-of-a-procedure-in-a-DLL/m-p/1095982#M125439 <P>There is no information regarding interface stored in the DLL.</P> Tue, 19 Apr 2016 15:55:13 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Querying-interface-of-a-procedure-in-a-DLL/m-p/1095982#M125439 Steven_L_Intel1 2016-04-19T15:55:13Z
