13. Extra Stuff

This lesson just contains some extra material(s) to be discussed in the final lecture. The discriptions here are quite brief.

Generic subprograms

In Fortran 77 many of the intrinsic functions (sin, cos, abs) return the same type as they receive as an argument. These are known as generic functions. There was no way in Fortran 77 to do the same for user routines. Here is an example of Fortran 90 generic subroutines from Fortran 90 for the Fortran 77 Programmer. This example defines a subroutine, SWAP, which works for reals, integers and characters. Note that while this example only defines a genereic subroutine, generic functions are written in the same way.

MODULE SWAPPER
       INTERFACE SWAP
              MODULE PROCEDURE SWAP_R, SWAP_I, SWAP_C
       END INTERFACE
CONTAINS

       SUBROUTINE SWAP_R(A, B)
       IMPLICIT NONE
       REAL, INTENT (INOUT)      :: A, B
       REAL                      :: TEMP
               TEMP = A ; A = B ; B = TEMP
       END SUBROUTINE SWAP_R

       SUBROUTINE SWAP_I(A, B)
       IMPLICIT NONE
       INTEGER, INTENT (INOUT)   :: A, B
       INTEGER                   :: TEMP
               TEMP = A ; A = B ; B = TEMP
       END SUBROUTINE SWAP_I

       SUBROUTINE SWAP_C(A, B)
       IMPLICIT NONE
       CHARACTER, INTENT (INOUT) :: A, B
       CHARACTER                 :: TEMP
                  TEMP = A ; A = B ; B = TEMP
       END SUBROUTINE SWAP_C
END MODULE SWAPPER

Here is a simple program to use the SWAP subroutine:

PROGRAM SWAP_MAIN
USE SWAPPER
       IMPLICIT NONE
       INTEGER                    :: I, J, K, L
       REAL                       :: A, B, X, Y
       CHARACTER                  :: C, D, E, F

       I = 1   ;  J = 2         ;     K = 100 ; L = 200
       A = 7.1 ;  B = 10.9      ;     X = 11.1; Y = 17.0
       C = 'a' ;  d = 'b'       ;     E = '1' ; F = '"'

       WRITE (*,*) I, J, K, L, A, B, X, Y, C, D, E, F
       CALL  SWAP (I, J)  ;  CALL SWAP (K, L)
       CALL  SWAP (A, B)  ;  CALL SWAP (X, Y)
       CALL  SWAP (C, D)  ;  CALL SWAP (E, F)
       WRITE (*,*) I, J, K, L, A, B, X, Y, C, D, E, F
END

Module procedures and operator overloading

Here is (long) an example which shows both modules procedures and operator overloading. The purpose of this example is to define a matrix type so that the following things work as they would in Matlab:

     type(matrix), dimension(n,n) :: A, B, C
     type(matrix), dimension(n) :: x, b

     A = B * C
     b = A * x
     x = b / A

A normal array of reals in Fortran 90 would do addition, subtraction and assignment correctly. However, it would do multiplication and division element-wise as explained in class. The module below defines the matrix type and the =, +, -, * and / operators for it. Note that the operators are defined in the same manner as other generic subprograms.
