-qbindcextname
Usage
The -qextname option and the BIND(C) attribute are two ways of modifying the names of Fortran global entities to facilitate use in C.
If you explicitly specify a BIND(C) binding label in an interface block using the NAME= specifier, the compiler uses this binding label in calls to the procedure regardless of the -qextname and -qbindcextname options.
If your interface does not explicitly specify a BIND(C) binding label using the NAME= specifier, the compiler creates an implicit binding label. If you also specify the -qextname option, the compiler appends an underscore to the implicit binding label only when the -qbindcextname option is in effect.
If you specify the -qextname and -qbindcextname options for a compilation unit declaring a BIND(C) procedure, the compiler appends an underscore to the binding label, even when the binding label is explicitly specified.
- You must ensure that the names of a BIND(C) entity are identical. Accordingly, if two compilation units access the same BIND(C) entity that does not have an explicitly-specified binding label, you must not compile one unit with the -qbindcextname option and the other with the -qnobindcextname option.
- The -q[no]bindcextname option has effect only if the -qextname option is also specified. If the -qextname option is specified with a list of named entities, the -q[no]bindcextname option only affects these named entities.
Examples
interface
integer function foo() bind(c)
end funciton
integer function bar()
end function
end interface
print *, foo()
print *, bar()
end
