So this is digressing off into two topics: 1. how to list the intent stuff 2. whether there should be distinct types for everything I believe that Craig has some definite opinions on #2 (I confess that I remember that such issues were discussed, but I don't remember the outcome) -- it might even be the bind(c) stuff...? All I want is #1 at the moment; I believe that #2 still needs to be resolved. On May 28, 2009, at 11:52 AM, N.M. Maclaren wrote:

Here's how I'd do it. I'm assuming that MPI_INT_KIND exists and I used IMPORT from F2003 assuming that the types and kinds were defined elsewhere in the same module. How this might be represented in the text of the standard could vary.

subroutine MPI_SEND(BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, IERROR) import <type>, dimension(*), intent(IN) ::BUF integer(MPI_INT_KIND), intent(IN) :: COUNT integer(MPI_INT_KIND), intent(IN) :: DATATYPE integer(MPI_INT_KIND), intent(IN) :: DEST integer(MPI_INT_KIND), intent(IN) :: TAG integer(MPI_INT_KIND), intent(IN) :: COMM integer(MPI_INT_KIND), intent(OUT) :: IERROR end subroutine MPI_SEND

Please, no! If we are going to use KIND, let it be done properly. There needs to be a set of KINDs, because you have at least three different uses of integers there.

I would tend to split them into counts (i.e. COUNT), handles (i.e. DATATYPE and COMM) and smallish integers (i.e. DEST, TAG and IERROR). But another division might be better.
