[J3] C_PTR not allowed in SEQUENCE types?

[Malcolm Cohen]

Hi Tom,

 

If you’re happy or at least willing to do terrible kludges, INTEGER(c_intrptr_t) and the TRANSFER intrinsic are your friends.

 

Frankly, I think we’ve lost enough toes to SEQUENCE types. They were obsolete when introduced in 1991, and obsolete now. I don’t want to extend them.

 

Cheers,

Is there a fundamental reason that C_PTR cannot be a SEQUENCE type?

 

I won’t admit to the terrible kludge that I’m attempting that led me to face this issue.   But he kludge aside, this seems to me at first glance to be a very reasonable and minor extension.
