Found in the README to
http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/services/software/mathematik/gsl/fortran/
gfortran is quite picky with regards to the C binding type, i.e. it does not
like
use iso_c_binding
complex(c_double),target :: z ! correct would be: c_double_complex
however it is not failing right a way, but it is only failing when using
C_LOC:
type(c_ptr) :: ptr
ptr = c_loc(z)
Error: C kind parameter is for type REAL but symbol 'z' at (1) is of type
COMPLEX
ISSUES:
a) The error should already printed for the declaration and not for C_LOC()
(The same checking is also done for the dummy arguments of BIND(C) procedures.)
b) The question is whether one needs an error or whether a warning is enough
(For completeness, the author did not reply to my request to change the code of
FGLS.)
