Abstract
This chapter looks briefly at C interoperability. C is a widely used programming language and there is a considerable amount of software written in C or with a C calling interface. Fortran 2003 introduced a standardised mechanism for interoperating with C. There were limitations to this interoperability and ISO TS 29113 significantly extended the scope of the interoperation facilities. The TS was published in 2012. In this chapter we provide a brief coverage of some of the technical details required for interoperability and then have a look at a couple of examples.
We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
