FAQ: Can a C Array (Type Double) Be Passed to a FORTRAN Program (Type Real*8)?

Answer

Yes, it can. ArcSDL has some special considerations when passing a C array to the FORTRAN program.

A C array is by definition a pointer, and as FORTRAN expects arguments to be passed by reference, there should be no problem. However, if the array has multiple dimensions, C assumes row-major order and FORTRAN assumes column-major order; thus, the elements of the array will have to be indexed accordingly.

There are some additional considerations for passing character strings. See
the source code for f772c.c.
