There's a lot of potential options to set during Fortran I/O, but in the vast majority of cases only a few are used. So a better library interface would be to transfer only those options that are used, and then let the full set of options live in heap memory managed by libgfortran. Say some kind of simple byte-code format, with an 'opcode' saying which option it is, followed by the value. See also https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48419 for some rough ideas in this direction, although I'm not personally working on GFortran at this time so somebody else would have to pick it up. -- Janne Blomqvist
