[Plplot-devel] PLplot Fortran bindings

[Wadud M. <wad...@na...>]

Hello,

I tried building the PLplot library with the NAG Fortran compiler and noticed something unusual in the Fortran code. In plplot_types.f90 the kind constants are declared as:



   integer, parameter :: plint  = 4

   integer, parameter :: plunicode  = 4



These are not portable and neither are part of the standard. To make it portable and adhere to the Fortran standard, use:



  integer, parameter :: plint = selected_int_kind(9)

  integer, parameter :: plunicode = selected_int_kind(9)



Or even better:



  use, intrinsic :: iso_fortran_env



  integer, parameter :: plint = INT32

  integer, parameter :: plunicode = INT32



Best regards,
Wadud.
