C Wrapper calling Fortran functions
I am trying to write a C wrapper to call a set of functions in a Fortran module. I start with something basic, but I don't have something important.
I've tried adding / adding different numbers of underscore characters. I've also tried linking gcc instead of gfortran. What I show below gives the simplest error (s).
I am working on a Mac running Yosemite 10.10.3, GNU Fortran 5.1.0, and the C compiler that comes with Xcode.
main.c
#include "stdio.h"
int main(void)
{
int a;
float b;
char c[30];
extern int _change_integer(int *a);
printf("Please input an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &a);
printf("You new integer is: %d\n", _change_integer(&a));
return 0;
}
intrealstring.f90
module intrealstring
use iso_c_binding
implicit none
contains
integer function change_integer(n)
implicit none
integer, intent(in) :: n
integer, parameter :: power = 2
change_integer = n ** power
end function change_integer
end module intrealstring
This is how I compile along with the error:
$ gcc -c main.c
$ gfortran -c intrealstring.f90
$ gfortran main.o intrealstring.o -o cwrapper
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

You need to bind fortran to c:
module intrealstring
use iso_c_binding
implicit none
contains
integer (C_INT) function change_integer(n) bind(c)
implicit none
integer (C_INT), intent(in) :: n
integer (C_INT), parameter :: power = 2
change_integer = n ** power
end function change_integer
end module intrealstring
Your c file should be modified like this:
#include "stdio.h"
int change_integer(int *n);
int main(void)
{
int a;
float b;
char c[30];
printf("Please input an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &a);
printf("You new integer is: %d\n", change_integer(&a));
return 0;
}
You can do:
$ gcc -c main.c
$ gfortran -c intrealstring.f90
$ gfortran main.o intrealstring.o -o cwrapper
