We are exploring the possibility of calling Fortran from Eiffel on an SGI.
Simply calling a Fortran function with no parameters works fine. Has anyone
had success in calling Fortran with a parameter list?
We will need to call fortran using both scalars (integers, reals, etc) and
arrays. For example, the fortran subroutine may look like this:
SUBROUTINE xyz(a,b,c)
INTEGER*4 a(100)
INTEGER*4 b
REAL c
-- Suboroutine body --
END
Of course, all parameters are passed by reference. How could we construct the
proper objects in Eiffel for calling this routine? This is important since we
have many Fortran subroutine libraries that will be used.
