I am about to start rewriting a fortran program to ansi C++.
Would it be best to convert the variables that are 'real' to float?
double? long double?

Step 1: use f2c, to translate Fortran source into complete C source that
compiles and runs. F2C is so stable that many use it as their Fortran
compiler. They never read the C intermediate.
Step 2: Read the C intermediate. It is not that bad, once you learn how
stereotypically it wraps all the Fortran nuances. But it won't be C++. Don't
ask it to be and you'l do fine. You can make minor tweaks to code in this
state.
Step 3: Write a billion unit tests that completely characterize this legacy
code. Many tests can pass sample data, collect sample results, and compare
them to golden references.
Step 4: Erase the source, and make each unit test pass by writing new
source.
Notice that at each step you can stop and have something useful to work
with.

It depends on the precision that you want. I would begin with double.

To be on the safe side I'd go with double.

I agree, but let me note that most Fortran compilers on 32-bit
platforms use 4-byte reals, which corresponds to a C/C++ float. If the
Fortran programmer thought 8 byte variables were necessary, he would
have declared them as DOUBLE PRECISION or the nonstandard, but common,
REAL*8. Many Fortran compilers have an option to "promote" REAL
variables to double precision. If one has a make file or build script
showing that this option was used, then the corresponding C++ variables
should be double.

Actually, if you're lucky, then they're already declared in fortran as
either
REAL*4 or REAL*8, in which case the decision for float or double is made
for you. Otherwise, I'd agree with Chris and go with double.
It's been ages since I did FORTRAN (back in the ancient WATFOR/WATFIV
days), but didn't it also have an explicit DOUBLE PRECISION declaration? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello all,
I am trying to interface c++ and fortran, the fortran code is already
there and I was successful
in calling the subroutines and functions, but was not able to send the
fortran module data into my C++ code and viceversa. I used gcc 3.3 and
g95 for c++ and fortran resp. Here is a little made up sample code so
that u could understand my problem.

I was succeeful in exchanging the 2D arrays from fortran to c++ and the

same. I am also pasting the fortran and c++ codes so that you could

Hi,
I have read somewhere that C code sometimes cannot be compiled to be as
efficient as FORTRAN, eg for matrix multiplication, because a C
compiler cannot make the assumptions about arrays that a FORTRAN
compiler can. But I don't understand the example, not least because I
don't understand FORTRAN. I also don't understand why it is more
efficient in this case for a compiler to choose the order of evaluation
(or whatever it is that it...

Hi all,
we're currently developing an application in the .NET environment that
needs to access a DLL implemented in Fortran. There is one procedure
with about 17 parameters, most of them arrays. After some trial and
error experiments, we've found out that
a) the parameters must be ordered by type, i.e. we cannot mix double,
integers and Strings (char-Arrays) - instead, we first need to put
all the float-Arrays and Int32-Arrays, and...

I have one small program which I need to convert in C#.
The original source codes are written in Fortran 77.
Can anybody advice me what is the easy way to do this task?

Hi
I've been thinking of learning Fortran as number crunching kinda
language for my Physics degree......but then looking around the
internet, people are saying that the libraries/ Algorithms once used
for number crunching is now slowly converting into C, so do you think
I should stick with C, since I know C already, or should I proceed
learning fortran??
Any advice??
Thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
