What is an assumed shape array? If C doesn't have this feature, then it may not be possible to accurately describe it in a C prototype.

In C, an array argument always decays to a pointer, so you could just use "float *", and it would be technically correct, though you would not be able to index into it without explicit address arithmetic.

Or maybe you can use the variable length array support, but that depends on what exactly an assumed share array is. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
