1 Use compiler option fpscomp logicals so that .TRUE. is 1 and .FALSE. is 0 as defined for C's _Bool. 2For character type, the length type parameter must be omitted or it must be specified by a constant expression whose value is one. |
For example, an integer type with the kind type parameter C_LONG is interoperable with the C integer type "long" or any C type derived from "long".
The value of C_INT will be a valid value for an integer kind type parameter on the processor. The values for the other integer named constants (C_INT*) will be a valid value for an integer kind type parameter on the processor, if any, or one of the following:
-1 if the C processor defines the corresponding C type and there is no interoperating Fortran processor kind
-2 if the C processor does not define the corresponding C type
The values of C_FLOAT, C_DOUBLE, and C_LONG_DOUBLE will be a valid value for a real kind type parameter on the processor, if any, or one of the following:
-1 if the C processor's type does not have a precision equal to the precision of any of the Fortran processor's real kinds
-2 if the C processor's type does not have a range equal to the range of any of the Fortran processor's real kinds
-3 if the C processor's type has neither the precision or range equal to the precision or range of any of the Fortran processor's real kinds
-4 if there is no interoperating Fortran processor or kind for other reasons
The values of C_FLOAT_COMPLEX, C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX, and C_LONG_DOUBLE_COMPLEX will be the same as those of C_FLOAT, C_DOUBLE, and C_LONG_DOUBLE, respectively.
The value of C_BOOL will be a valid value for a logical kind parameter on the processor, if any, or -1.
The value of C_CHAR is the character kind.

Derived-Type Constants
The constant C_NULL_PTR is of type C_PTR; it has the value of a C null data pointer. The constant C_NULL_FUNPTR is of type C_FUNPTR; it has the value of a C null function pointer.
