Re: Request on memory allocation

[Joerg Ettrich <joerg dot ettrich at numeca dot de>]

Hi Toon,

as I does not get any fuitful answer from comp.lang.fortran, 
I'll sent my question to you...

  As far as I know the g77 compiler does not support dynamic
  allocation of memory (like with malloc in C). I already
  did some applications in FORTRAN 77, thus I wasn't able
  to allocate memory dynamically. The last few days I went
  (partly) through the manuals of g77 (web page) and now I
  have some questions.

  - Is g77 able to realize dynamic memory allocation?

  - Is it possible to put a C-routine (that does the 
    allocation) together with some g77-fortran code, 
    in order to realize dynamic memory allocation ?

thanks in advance,
regards,

Joerg
