how to set the kind type of ENUM

[志强_赵_]

Hello All

In intel compiler 2015, if I want to use the enum. I have to use it as follows

enum,bind(c)

enumerator :: BLUE

end enum

So, the BLUE was set integer 4 as in the C lang.

Can I change it to integer 8?

There is no language in the Fortran standard to allow you to do that, nor do we automatically widen them with the /integer-size:64 switch.

As you probably saw, part of the definition of the Fortran ENUM is this:

For an enumeration, the kind is selected such that an integer type with that kind is interoperable (15.3.2) with the
corresponding C enumeration type.

If you need integer parameters that are bigger (or smaller) than 4-byte integers, then you will need to explicitly define each one.
