adjustable array as a formal parameter

dnoack — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 16:33:18 GMT

Hello,

I would like to give anarray as a formal parameter to a subroutine in the following way

subroutine sub(b)
double precision, dimension(:) :: b
write(*,*) b
end subroutine sub

program arrayDelivery
double precision, dimension(3) :: a
a=987654.321
call sub(a)
end

Althoughifort compiles the code without any errors,the program does not deliver the correct results. Instead of the values for b it prints only a blank line. I think, that the delivery of the formal parameter is not correct.

Please can anyone explain to me the reason.

Thanks

dino

That's not an adjustable array (where you would pass the bound as a separate parameterr and declare it in the subroutine as a(n)), it's an assumed-shape array and an explicit interface is required to be visible to the caller. If you make sub a "contained" procedure of the main program, that would do it, otherwise sub needs to be in a module or you have to write an INTERFACE block.
