--- Comment #4 from relliott at umn dot edu --- > Ahem, give val the SAVE attribute. > > integer(c_int), pointer, save :: val Hi, Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I don't think using save will serve my purpose in this case. Although, now I see that the skeleton code does not illustrate this aspect of my requirements. The myalloc() function is supposed to be able to allocate multiple independent values. I've updated the code to demonstrate this requirement. Attached. The typical output is now: $ make gfortran -m32 -O3 -g -Wall -pedantic -c skeleton-f.F90 gcc -m32 -O3 -g -Wall -ansi -pedantic -c skeleton-c.c gfortran -m32 -O3 -g -Wall skeleton*.o -o skeleton $ ./skeleton -- in storePtr: pointer address --> 0x78625940 <-- value --> 805306368 <-- index --> 0 -- just a print statement --> nothing <-- index --> 0 -- in getPtr: pointer address --> 0x78625940 <-- value --> 805306368 <-- index --> 0 -- in storePtr: pointer address --> 0x78625950 <-- value --> 805306368 <-- index --> 1 -- just a print statement --> nothing <-- index --> 1 -- in getPtr: pointer address --> 0x78625950 <-- value --> 805306368 <-- index --> 1 -- value of 'val0' variable --> 805306368 -- value of 'val1' variable --> 805306368 $ make clean rm -f skeleton skeleton*.o *.mod $ make DEFS=-DOK gfortran -m32 -O3 -g -Wall -pedantic -DOK -c skeleton-f.F90 gcc -m32 -O3 -g -Wall -ansi -pedantic -DOK -c skeleton-c.c gfortran -m32 -O3 -g -Wall skeleton*.o -o skeleton $ ./skeleton -- in storePtr: pointer address --> 0x78e41c80 <-- value --> -268435456 <-- index --> 0 -- value of 'val' variable --> 21 <-- index --> 0 -- in getPtr: pointer address --> 0x78e41c80 <-- value --> 21 <-- index --> 0 -- in storePtr: pointer address --> 0x78e41c90 <-- value --> -268435456 <-- index --> 1 -- value of 'val' variable --> 12 <-- index --> 1 -- in getPtr: pointer address --> 0x78e41c90 <-- value --> 12 <-- index --> 1 -- value of 'val0' variable --> 21 -- value of 'val1' variable --> 12 Suggestions would be much appreciated.
