cannam@127: <a name="index-Fortran-interface-2"></a>
cannam@127: 
cannam@127: <p>Fortran 2003 standardized ways for Fortran code to call C libraries,
cannam@127: and this allows us to support a direct translation of the FFTW C API
cannam@127: into Fortran.  Compared to the legacy Fortran 77 interface
cannam@127: (see <a href="Calling-FFTW-from-Legacy-Fortran.html#Calling-FFTW-from-Legacy-Fortran">Calling FFTW from Legacy Fortran</a>), this direct interface
cannam@127: offers many advantages, especially compile-time type-checking and
cannam@127: aligned memory allocation.  As of this writing, support for these C
cannam@127: interoperability features seems widespread, having been implemented in
cannam@127: nearly all major Fortran compilers (e.g. GNU, Intel, IBM,
cannam@127: Oracle/Solaris, Portland Group, NAG).
cannam@127: <a name="index-portability-4"></a>
cannam@127: </p>
cannam@127: <p>This chapter documents that interface.  For the most part, since this
cannam@127: interface allows Fortran to call the C interface directly, the usage
cannam@127: is identical to C translated to Fortran syntax.  However, there are a
cannam@127: few subtle points such as memory allocation, wisdom, and data types
cannam@127: that deserve closer attention.
