## H5test_kind_SIZEOF

[ Top ] [ Procedures ]

NAME

      Executable: H5test_kind

FILE

      fortran/src/H5test_kind_SIZEOF.f90

PURPOSE

      This stand alone program is used at build time to generate the program
      H5fortran_detect.f90. It cycles through all the available KIND parameters for
      integers and reals. The appropriate program and subroutines are then generated
      depending on which of the KIND values are found.

NOTES

      This program is used in place of H5test_kind.f90 when the Fortran intrinsic
      function SIZEOF is available. It generates code that makes use of SIZEOF in
      H5fortran_detect.f90 which is a portable solution.

      The availability of SIZEOF is checked at configure time and the TRUE/FALSE
      condition is set in the configure variable "FORTRAN_HAVE_SIZEOF".
