How should a C compiler pass the correct data structure to Fred? The C bindings in Fortran 2003 has functions to convert C pointers to Fortran pointers (c_f_pointer, c_f_procpointer), because C does not know the ABI of a particular Fortran implementation. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
