FORTRAN mixed with C++

[Schwandt__Olaf]

Hi Steve, hi all,

it is so confusing what I find about mixing FORTRAN and C++

I have Visual Studio 2017 with Intel Parallel Studio XE 2018 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2017.

My FORTRAN-routine should call C++ routines. Can you tell me exactly how I can do that?

Thanks in advance!

Olaf

Fortran interfaces well with C. To the extent that you can make C++ look like C, it works pretty well. For C++ functions you call, you must use the 'extern "C"'' prefix in C++. You will be restricted to argument types supported by both languages.

A complete worked example is "Fortran_Calls_C" in the Intel Parallel Studio XE for Windows Samples Bundle (under compiler_f\MixedLanguage).
