[Plplot-devel] Small revision of Fortran 95 interface

[Arjen M. <arj...@wl...>]

Hello,

in view of the recent report on problems with EQUIVALENCE'ing
integers and character strings in the Fortran 95 bindings, I have
changed the implementation. Instead of an EQUIVALENCE
statement the transfer of character data from Fortran routines
to C functions now goes via the TRANSFER() function.

As this is completely standard in Fortran 95, the bindings should now
be acceptable for all Fortran 95 compilers.

I have tested this new implementation with the various examples
and they all work fine. It is possible, however, that one or two
functions are not exercised that way or that I have overlooked
something. So, please report any strange results.

To use this new implementation, update the sources from SVN.

Regards,

Arjen
