Re: Fortran subroutine characters args and their lengths and C



Apparently, _Madhusudan Singh_, on 05/04/05 21:52,typed:
[Follow up changed to comp.lang.c - this is OT in both comp.lang.fortran and
sci.math.num-analysis]

If you were asking about writing a Fortran wrapper to C, it would be
different. And if I might add, this is even more OT in
sci.math.num-analysis. I have removed that group completely from the list.

I disagree regarding s.m.n-a point above. There are numerous queries on that newsgroup concerning implementation of numerical analysis algorithm in either C or Fortran or C++. Even a cursory search can clearly show this. For well known reasons in the field, mixture of C and Fortran or C++ and Fortran is quite common. So the query was quite on topic in that group.


I also do not agree with your c.l.c point. But others have already replied to that effect.

->HS
PS: Can't you resist yourself from trying to police the newsgroups? At first I read your objections with some attention, but you are overdoing it now and making unreasonable and nonsensical claims.
