cannam@127 79 <h3 class="section">8.1 Fortran-interface routines</h3>
cannam@127 80
cannam@127 81 <p>Nearly all of the FFTW functions have Fortran-callable equivalents.
cannam@127 82 The name of the legacy Fortran routine is the same as that of the
cannam@127 83 corresponding C routine, but with the &lsquo;<samp>fftw_</samp>&rsquo; prefix replaced by
cannam@127 84 &lsquo;<samp>dfftw_</samp>&rsquo;.<a name="DOCF9" href="#FOOT9"><sup>9</sup></a> The single and long-double precision
cannam@127 85 versions use &lsquo;<samp>sfftw_</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>lfftw_</samp>&rsquo;, respectively, instead of
cannam@127 86 &lsquo;<samp>fftwf_</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>fftwl_</samp>&rsquo;; quadruple precision (<code>real*16</code>)
cannam@127 87 is available on some systems as &lsquo;<samp>fftwq_</samp>&rsquo; (see <a href="Precision.html#Precision">Precision</a>).
cannam@127 88 (Note that <code>long double</code> on x86 hardware is usually at most
cannam@127 89 80-bit extended precision, <em>not</em> quadruple precision.)
cannam@127 90 </p>
cannam@127 91 <p>For the most part, all of the arguments to the functions are the same,
cannam@127 92 with the following exceptions:
cannam@127 93 </p>
cannam@127 94 <ul>
cannam@127 95 <li> <code>plan</code> variables (what would be of type <code>fftw_plan</code> in C),
cannam@127 96 must be declared as a type that is at least as big as a pointer
cannam@127 97 (address) on your machine. We recommend using <code>integer*8</code> everywhere,
cannam@127 98 since this should always be big enough.
cannam@127 99 <a name="index-portability-6"></a>
cannam@127 100
cannam@127 101 </li><li> Any function that returns a value (e.g. <code>fftw_plan_dft</code>) is
cannam@127 102 converted into a <em>subroutine</em>. The return value is converted into
cannam@127 103 an additional <em>first</em> parameter of this subroutine.<a name="DOCF10" href="#FOOT10"><sup>10</sup></a>
cannam@127 104
cannam@127 105 </li><li> <a name="index-column_002dmajor-2"></a>
cannam@127 106 The Fortran routines expect multi-dimensional arrays to be in
cannam@127 107 <em>column-major</em> order, which is the ordinary format of Fortran
cannam@127 108 arrays (see <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format.html#Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format">Multi-dimensional Array Format</a>). They do this
cannam@127 109 transparently and costlessly simply by reversing the order of the
cannam@127 110 dimensions passed to FFTW, but this has one important consequence for
cannam@127 111 multi-dimensional real-complex transforms, discussed below.
cannam@127 112
cannam@127 113 </li><li> Wisdom import and export is somewhat more tricky because one cannot
cannam@127 114 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>.
cannam@127 115
cannam@127 116 </li><li> Legacy Fortran cannot use the <code>fftw_malloc</code> dynamic-allocation routine.
cannam@127 117 If you want to exploit the SIMD FFTW (see <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html#SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>), you&rsquo;ll
cannam@127 118 need to figure out some other way to ensure that your arrays are at
cannam@127 119 least 16-byte aligned.
cannam@127 120
cannam@127 121 </li><li> <a name="index-fftw_005fiodim-2"></a>
cannam@127 122 <a name="index-guru-interface-4"></a>
cannam@127 123 Since Fortran 77 does not have data structures, the <code>fftw_iodim</code>
cannam@127 124 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
cannam@127 125 <code>fftw_iodim</code> array arguments in the C guru interface become three
cannam@127 126 integer array arguments (<code>n</code>, <code>is</code>, and <code>os</code>) in the
cannam@127 127 Fortran guru interface, all of whose lengths should be equal to the
cannam@127 128 corresponding <code>rank</code> argument.
cannam@127 129
cannam@127 130 </li><li> The guru planner interface in Fortran does <em>not</em> do any automatic
cannam@127 131 translation between column-major and row-major; you are responsible
cannam@127 132 for setting the strides etcetera to correspond to your Fortran arrays.
cannam@127 133 However, as a slight bug that we are preserving for backwards
cannam@127 134 compatibility, the &lsquo;<samp>plan_guru_r2r</samp>&rsquo; in Fortran <em>does</em> reverse the
cannam@127 135 order of its <code>kind</code> array parameter, so the <code>kind</code> array
cannam@127 136 of that routine should be in the reverse of the order of the iodim
cannam@127 137 arrays (see above).
cannam@127 138
cannam@127 139 </li></ul>
cannam@127 140
cannam@127 141 <p>In general, you should take care to use Fortran data types that
cannam@127 142 correspond to (i.e. are the same size as) the C types used by FFTW.
cannam@127 143 In practice, this correspondence is usually straightforward
cannam@127 144 (i.e. <code>integer</code> corresponds to <code>int</code>, <code>real</code>
cannam@127 145 corresponds to <code>float</code>, etcetera). The native Fortran
cannam@127 146 double/single-precision complex type should be compatible with
cannam@127 147 <code>fftw_complex</code>/<code>fftwf_complex</code>. Such simple correspondences
cannam@127 148 are assumed in the examples below.

cannam@127 156 <p>Technically, Fortran 77 identifiers are not
cannam@127 157 allowed to have more than 6 characters, nor may they contain
cannam@127 158 underscores. Any compiler that enforces this limitation doesn&rsquo;t
cannam@127 159 deserve to link to FFTW.</p>

cannam@127 161 <p>The

cannam@127 163 trouble with C function return values, and vice versa.</p>
