9.2 ISO_C_BINDING

Standard:
Fortran 2003 and later, GNU extensions

The following intrinsic procedures are provided by the module; their definition can be found in the section Intrinsic Procedures of this manual.

C_ASSOCIATED
C_F_POINTER
C_F_PROCPOINTER
C_FUNLOC
C_LOC
C_SIZEOF

The ISO_C_BINDING module provides the following named constants of type default integer, which can be used as KIND type parameters.

In addition to the integer named constants required by the Fortran 2003 standard and C_PTRDIFF_T of TS 29113, GNU Fortran provides as an extension named constants for the 128-bit integer types supported by the C compiler: C_INT128_T, C_INT_LEAST128_T, C_INT_FAST128_T. Furthermore, if __float128 is supported in C, the named constants C_FLOAT128, C_FLOAT128_COMPLEX are defined.

Additionally, the following parameters of type CHARACTER(KIND=C_CHAR) are defined.

Name C definition Value
C_NULL_CHAR null character '\0'
C_ALERT alert '\a'
C_BACKSPACE backspace '\b'
C_FORM_FEED form feed '\f'
C_NEW_LINE new line '\n'
C_CARRIAGE_RETURN carriage return '\r'
C_HORIZONTAL_TAB horizontal tab '\t'
C_VERTICAL_TAB vertical tab '\v'

Moreover, the following two named constants are defined:

Name Type
C_NULL_PTR C_PTR
C_NULL_FUNPTR C_FUNPTR

Both are equivalent to the value NULL in C.
