This interface is needed if one wants pass an array descriptor to C; other vendors have such a documentation as well. It should come with a note that the interface may change between versions. Other compilers have this as well, e.g, http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/docs/flin/main_for/mergedProjects/bldaps_for/common/bldaps_hndl_arrdesc.htm If not for the gfortran documentation, one could add it to gfortran-internal. -- Summary: Document internal structure of arrays Product: gcc Version: 4.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: documentation Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34528
