(j3.2006) Interoperable dummy arguments

[Daniel C Chen]

Is C1555 still needed then?

It seems to me it is redundant to C1554 as C1554 explicit says what a dummy
argument of a bind(c) procedure can be. It refers to 18.3.5, 18.3.6, in
which both type and type parameters are required to be interoperable.

Would removing C1555 solve the confusion?

Thanks,

Daniel

>Erik can correct me if I misunderstand his question, but I think he's
referring to the relationship between C1555 and 18.3.5p1, wherein a
variable
of type character is specified not to be interoperable if its length is
assumed.

There is no relationship between C1555 and 18.3.5p1, because C1555
specifies
that something has to be of "interoperable type" and that's it.  It most
emphatically does NOT require the variable to be interoperable, as I
pointed
out it is about reinstating the TYPE requirement that C1554 drops for
assumed-shape arrays et al.

>18.3.5 is concerned with interoperability of scalar variables, not
interoperable types.

Exactly.

assumed length is not interoperable?

Most definitely yes.
