CPtr

A C pointer: an address with no type and no shape.

Declaration

Syntax

CPtr(cptr_kind kind)

Arguments

kind is CPointer, CFunPointer, or CPtrUnspecified, distinguishing c_ptr from c_funptr once semantics has resolved the intrinsic symbols.

Return values

None. A type is not evaluated.

Description

type(c_ptr) or type(c_funptr) from iso_c_binding. It carries an address and optional identity for which C pointer type it is, but no pointee type or shape, so nothing can be read through it until CPtrToPointer supplies the type and the shape.

Examples

(CPtr
  :kind :CPtrUnspecified
