how to initialize allocatable data

[martymike]

I'd like to have a list that could grow during execution that would also start with an initial set of values. I could create a static array, but then there's a hard upper bound. I could use an allocatable array, with logic to reallocate if needed, but I can't initialize it at compile time. I could create a linked list, but I can't initialize the next pointers at compile time.Does anyone have any ideas?

You can use a derived type as the basic element of your list, and then specify default initializations for the components of that derived type. For example, zero for a counter, blank for a string and NULL() for pointers.

That wouldn't allow initialization of "next" pointers to point to the next in the list. This is something you'll have to write code to do.

You may want to have a look at the linked list module in my Flibs project at http://flibs.sf.net.
(I should take a closer look at it one of these days, but it is functional andmay give you an
idea of how to go about.)
