d@0 58 <h3 class="section">7.1 Fortran-interface routines</h3>
d@0 59
d@0 60 <p>Nearly all of the FFTW functions have Fortran-callable equivalents. The
d@0 61 name of the Fortran routine is the same as that of the corresponding C
d@0 62 routine, but with the `<samp><span class="samp">fftw_</span></samp>' prefix replaced by `<samp><span class="samp">dfftw_</span></samp>'.
d@0 63 (The single and long-double precision versions use `<samp><span class="samp">sfftw_</span></samp>' and
d@0 64 `<samp><span class="samp">lfftw_</span></samp>', respectively, instead of `<samp><span class="samp">fftwf_</span></samp>' and
d@0 65 `<samp><span class="samp">fftwl_</span></samp>'.)<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1" name="fnd-1"><sup>1</sup></a>
d@0 66
d@0 67 <p>For the most part, all of the arguments to the functions are the same,
d@0 68 with the following exceptions:
d@0 69
d@0 70 <ul>
d@0 71 <li><code>plan</code> variables (what would be of type <code>fftw_plan</code> in C),
d@0 72 must be declared as a type that is at least as big as a pointer
d@0 73 (address) on your machine. We recommend using <code>integer*8</code>.
d@0 74 <a name="index-portability-332"></a>
d@0 75 <li>Any function that returns a value (e.g. <code>fftw_plan_dft</code>) is
d@0 76 converted into a <em>subroutine</em>. The return value is converted into
d@0 77 an additional <em>first</em> parameter of this subroutine.<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-2" name="fnd-2"><sup>2</sup></a>
d@0 78
d@0 79 <li><a name="index-column_002dmajor-333"></a>The Fortran routines expect multi-dimensional arrays to be in
d@0 80 <em>column-major</em> order, which is the ordinary format of Fortran
d@0 81 arrays (see <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format.html#Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format">Multi-dimensional Array Format</a>). They do this
d@0 82 transparently and costlessly simply by reversing the order of the
d@0 83 dimensions passed to FFTW, but this has one important consequence for
d@0 84 multi-dimensional real-complex transforms, discussed below.
d@0 85
d@0 86 <li>Wisdom import and export is somewhat more tricky because one cannot
d@0 87 easily pass files or strings between C and Fortran; see <a href="Wisdom-of-Fortran_003f.html#Wisdom-of-Fortran_003f">Wisdom of Fortran?</a>.
d@0 88
d@0 89 <li>Fortran cannot use the <code>fftw_malloc</code> dynamic-allocation routine.
d@0 90 If you want to exploit the SIMD FFTW (see <a href="Data-Alignment.html#Data-Alignment">Data Alignment</a>), you'll
d@0 91 need to figure out some other way to ensure that your arrays are at
d@0 92 least 16-byte aligned.
d@0 93
d@0 94 <li><a name="index-fftw_005fiodim-334"></a><a name="index-guru-interface-335"></a>Since Fortran 77 does not have data structures, the <code>fftw_iodim</code>
d@0 95 structure from the guru interface (see <a href="Guru-vector-and-transform-sizes.html#Guru-vector-and-transform-sizes">Guru vector and transform sizes</a>) must be split into separate arguments. In particular, any
d@0 96 <code>fftw_iodim</code> array arguments in the C guru interface become three
d@0 97 integer array arguments (<code>n</code>, <code>is</code>, and <code>os</code>) in the
d@0 98 Fortran guru interface, all of whose lengths should be equal to the
d@0 99 corresponding <code>rank</code> argument.
d@0 100
d@0 101 <li>The guru planner interface in Fortran does <em>not</em> do any automatic
d@0 102 translation between column-major and row-major; you are responsible
d@0 103 for setting the strides etcetera to correspond to your Fortran arrays.
d@0 104 However, as a slight bug that we are preserving for backwards
d@0 105 compatibility, the `<samp><span class="samp">plan_guru_r2r</span></samp>' in Fortran <em>does</em> reverse the
d@0 106 order of its <code>kind</code> array parameter, so the <code>kind</code> array
d@0 107 of that routine should be in the reverse of the order of the iodim
d@0 108 arrays (see above).
d@0 109
d@0 110 </ul>
d@0 111
d@0 112 <p>In general, you should take care to use Fortran data types that
d@0 113 correspond to (i.e. are the same size as) the C types used by FFTW. If
d@0 114 your C and Fortran compilers are made by the same vendor, the
d@0 115 correspondence is usually straightforward (i.e. <code>integer</code>
d@0 116 corresponds to <code>int</code>, <code>real</code> corresponds to <code>float</code>,
d@0 117 etcetera). The native Fortran double/single-precision complex type
d@0 118 should be compatible with <code>fftw_complex</code>/<code>fftwf_complex</code>.
d@0 119 Such simple correspondences are assumed in the examples below.

d@0 125 <h4>Footnotes</h4><p class="footnote"><small>[<a name="fn-1" href="#fnd-1">1</a>]</small> Technically, Fortran 77 identifiers are
d@0 126 not allowed to have more than 6 characters, nor may they contain
d@0 127 underscores. Any compiler that enforces this limitation doesn't deserve
d@0 128 to link to FFTW.</p>
d@0 129
d@0 130 <p class="footnote"><small>[<a name="fn-2" href="#fnd-2">2</a>]</small> The
d@0 131 reason for this is that some Fortran implementations seem to have
d@0 132 trouble with C function return values, and vice versa.</p>
