The BIND attribute declares that a Fortran variable or common block is interoperable with the C programming language.

Syntax


                                                           .-,---------------------.   
                                                           V                       |   
>>-BIND--(--C--+-----------------------------+--)--+----+----+-variable_name-----+-+-><
               '-, -NAME-- = --binding_label-'     '-::-'    '-common_block_name-'

binding_label: is a scalar character constant expression

Rules

This attribute specifies that a Fortran variable or common block is interoperable with a C entity with external linkage. Refer to Interoperability of variables and Interoperability of common blocks for details.

If the NAME= specifier appears in a BIND statement, then only one variable_name or common_block_name can appear.

If a BIND statement specifies a common block, then each variable of that common block must be of interoperable type and type parameters, and must not have the POINTER or ALLOCATABLE attribute.
