TYPE, BIND(C, NAME= not compiling

[Norman_K_]

What is wrong with the following?

module mod_dill

    use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding, only: c_char
    implicit none; private
  
    public :: ipaddr
  
    type, bind(c, name='dill_ipaddr') :: ipaddr
        character(c_char) :: address(32)
    end type ipaddr
  
end module mod_dill

Remove ", name='dill_ipaddr'"  there is no syntax in TYPE to make an alias name in standard Fortran.

@Norman K.,

Merry Christmas.

As explained by Andrew, NAME= clause is not an option in a derived-type definition such as with your 'ipaddr' type.

Did you mean to have NAME= clause in a type declaration of a de facto 'global' object as shown below?

module mod_dill

    use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding, only: c_char
    implicit none; private

    public :: ipaddr

    type, bind(C) :: ipaddr
        character(c_char) :: address(32)
    end type ipaddr

    type(ipaddr), bind(C, name='dill_ipaddr'), public, save :: dill_ipaddr !<-- NAME= ok here

end module mod_dill

so...

"Bind with name" an instance, but not a whole class

Makes sense, 

Thanks both

Merry Christmas
