CPtr

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

Declaration

Syntax

CPtr()

Arguments

None.

Return values

None. A type is not evaluated.

Description

type(c_ptr) from iso_c_binding. It carries an address and nothing else, so nothing can be read through it until CPtrToPointer supplies the type and the shape.

Examples

(CPtr)
