J3/05-174 Date: 25 Apr 2005 To: J3 From: Rob James Subject: Structure components in namelist input NUMBER: TITLE: Structure components in namelist input KEYWORDS: Namelist, UDDTIO, component DEFECT TYPE: STATUS: J3 consideration in progress QUESTION: Consider the following program: MODULE m PRIVATE TYPE, PUBLIC :: t INTEGER :: i INTEGER :: j CONTAINS PROCEDURE, PRIVATE :: readFormatted => readFormattedT GENERIC :: READ(FORMATTED) => readFormatted END TYPE CONTAINS SUBROUTINE readformattedT(dtv, unit, iotype, v_list, iostat, iomsg) CLASS(t), INTENT(INOUT) :: dtv INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: unit CHARACTER(*), INTENT(IN) :: iotype INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: v_list(:) INTEGER, INTENT(OUT) :: iostat CHARACTER(*), INTENT(INOUT) :: iomsg READ (unit, *) dtv%i dtv%j = dtv%i * 2 END SUBROUTINE END MODULE PROGRAM p USE m TYPE(t) :: x NAMELIST /nml/ x READ (*, nml) PRINT *, x%i, x%j END PROGRAM Question 1: Is the following input valid for the above program? &nml b1%i = 100 / Question 2: If the input is valid, what is the output of the program, when using this input? ANSWER: 1. No, this input is not valid for the given program. The name of a component of a structure should not appear in namelist input if that structure would be processed by a user-defined derived-type I/O procedure. Edits are supplied to correct this oversight. 2. N/A EDITS: TBD. SUBMITTED BY: Rob James HISTORY: 05-174 m172 Submitted
