Intel® Fortran Compiler 17.0 Developer Guide and Reference
CFI_dim_t is a typedef name for a C structure. It is used to represent lower bound, extent, and memory stride information for one dimension of an array. CFI_dim_t contains at least the following members in any order:
CFI_index_t lower_bound – The value of the lower bound for the dimension being described.
CFI_index_t extent – The value is the number of elements in the dimension being described or -1 for the last dimension of an assumed-size array.
CFI_index_t sm – The value is the memory stride for a dimension; this is the difference in bytes between the addresses of successive elements in the dimension being described.
CFI_cdesc_t is a typedef name for a C structure, which contains a flexible array member. The first three members of the structure are base_addr, elem_len, and version in that order. The final member is dim. All other members must be between version and dim, in any order.
void * base_addr – If the object Interoperating with arguments using C descriptors is an unallocated allocatable variable or a pointer that is disassociated, the value is a null pointer. If the object has zero size, the value is not a null pointer but is processor-11 dependent. Otherwise, the value is the base address of the object being described. The base address of a scalar is its C address. The base address of an array is the C address of the first element in Fortran array element order.
size_t elem_len – If the object is a scalar, the value is the storage size in bytes of the object; otherwise, the value is the storage size in bytes of an element of the object.
int version – The value is the value of CFI_VERSION in the source file ISO_Fortran_binding.h that defined the format and meaning of this C descriptor when the descriptor was established.
CFI_rank_t rank – The value is the number of dimensions of the Fortran object being described; if the object is a scalar, the value is zero.
CFI_type_t type – The value is the specifier for the type of the object. Each interoperable intrinsic C type has a specifier. Specifiers are also provided to indicate that the type of the object is an interoperable structure, or is unknown. The macros listed in the table below provide values that correspond to each type code specifier.

CFI_type_struct | interoperable C structure |
CFI_type_other | not otherwise specified |
The value for CFI_type_other is negative and distinct from all other type specifiers.
CFI_type_struct specifies a C structure that is interoperable with a Fortran derived type; its value is positive and distinct from all other type specifiers.
If a C type is not interoperable with a Fortran type and kind supported by the Fortran processor, its macro evaluates to a negative value.
Otherwise, the value for an intrinsic type is positive.
CFI_attribute_t attribute – The value is the value of an attribute code that indicates whether the object described is allocatable, a data pointer, or a nonallocatable, nonpointer data object. The values are nonnegative and distinct.
The macros listed in the table below provide values that correspond to each attribute code.
Macro |
Attribute code indicated |
---|---|
CFI_attribute_pointer |
data pointer object |
CFI_attribute_allocatable |
allocatable object |
CFI_attribute_other |
nonallocatable, nonpointer object |
CFI_attribute_pointer specifies a data object with the Fortran POINTER attribute.
CFI_attribute_allocatable specifies an object with the Fortran ALLOCATABLE attribute.
CFI_attribute_other specifies a nonallocatable nonpointer object.
CFI_dim_t dim – The number of elements in the dim array is equal to the rank of the object. Each element of the array contains the lower bound, extent, and memory stride information for the corresponding dimension of the Fortran object.
For a C descriptor of an array pointer or allocatable array, the value of the lower_bound member of each element of the dim member of the descriptor is determined by argument association, allocation, or pointer association. For a C descriptor of a nonallocatable nonpointer object, the value of the lower_bound member of each element of the dim member of the descriptor is zero.
In a C descriptor of an assumed-size array, the extent member of the last element of the dim member has the value -1. The value of elem_len for a Fortran CHARACTER object is equal to the character length times the number of bytes of a single character of that kind. If the kind is C_CHAR, this value will be equal to the character length.
Except for CFI_CDESC_T, each macro defined in ISO_Fortran_binding.h expands to an integer constant expression that is either a single token or a parenthesized expression that is suitable for use in #if preprocessing directives.
CFI_CDESC_T is a function-like macro that takes one argument, which is the rank of the C descriptor to create, and evaluates to an unqualified type of suitable size and alignment for defining a variable to use as a C descriptor of that rank. The argument shall be an integer constant expression with a value that is greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to CFI_MAX_RANK. A pointer to a variable declared using CFI_CDESC_T can be cast to CFI_cdesc_t *. A variable declared using CFI_CDESC_T must not have an initializer.
The CFI_CDESC_T macro provides the memory for a C descriptor. The address of an entity declared using the macro is not usable as an actual argument corresponding to a formal parameter of type CFI_cdesc_t * without an explicit cast.
CFI_index_t is a typedef name for a standard signed integer type capable of representing the result of subtracting two pointers.
The CFI_MAX_RANK macro has a value equal to the largest rank supported, i.e., 31. CFI_rank_t is a typedef name for a standard integer type capable of representing the largest supported rank.
The CFI_VERSION macro has a processor-dependent value that encodes the version of the ISO_Fortran_binding.h source file containing this macro. This value is increased if a new version of the source file is incompatible with the previous version.
CFI_attribute_t is a typedef name for a standard integer type capable of representing the values of the attribute codes.
CFI_type_t is a typedef name for a standard integer type capable of representing the values for the supported type specifiers.
The macros in the table below are for use as error codes. The macro CFI_SUCCESS is the integer constant 0. The value of each macro other than CFI_SUCCESS is nonzero and is different from the values of the other error code macros.
