This module contains definitions of integer parameters that can be used
as kind numbers. Users wishing to write portable software making use of
non-default kinds should USE this module and use the parameters instead
of numeric values. For example, users should use LOGICAL(KIND=BYTE)
instead of LOGICAL(KIND=1). The available KIND parameters are
shown below; their exact meanings (i.e. the values they represent) are
implementation dependent.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: SINGLEFor
REAL and COMPLEX, selects the default real or default complex
kind; this is equivalent to leaving the KIND selector off entirely.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: DOUBLESelects the double precision real kind; this is equivalent to declaring
REAL entities using the DOUBLE PRECISION type specifier, to
declaring COMPLEX entities using COMPLEX(KIND(0d0)), and to using
the exponent letter D on literal constants.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: QUAD
REAL/COMPLEX kind selector for real and complex types with
approximately twice the precision of DOUBLE.
This might not be available on some systems; on a system without this type, the
value of this parameter will be negative.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: REAL16
REAL/COMPLEX kind selector for real and complex types that are
represented using 16-bit floating-point numbers.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: REAL32
REAL/COMPLEX kind selector for real and complex types that are
represented using 32-bit floating-point numbers.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: REAL64
REAL/COMPLEX kind selector for real and complex types that are
represented using 64-bit floating-point numbers.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: REAL64x2
REAL/COMPLEX kind selector for real and complex types that are
represented using “double-double” floating-point numbers.
A double-double floating-point number consists of two 64-bit values, one of
which is at least DIGITS(1._REAL64) smaller than the other; this has
almost twice the precision of REAL64 (except when near zero), but a
smaller exponent range.
This type is not available on all systems; on a system without this type, the value of this parameter is −1.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: REAL128
REAL/COMPLEX kind selector for real and complex types that are
represented using 128-bit floating-point numbers.
This will select a “true 128-bit” floating-point type if one is
available, and if not it will select a “double-double” floating-point
type if that is available; if no 128-bit floating-point type is available the
value of this parameter is -1.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: INT8
INTEGER kind selector for integer types with at least 8 bits of
precision.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: INT16
INTEGER kind selector for integer types with at least 16 bits of
precision.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: INT32
INTEGER kind selector for integer types with at least 32 bits of
precision.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: INT64
INTEGER kind selector for integer types with at least 64 bits of
precision.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: BYTE
LOGICAL kind selector for logical types occupying only one byte of
memory.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: TWOBYTE
LOGICAL kind selector for logical types occupying the same space as
INTEGER(INT16) entities.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: WORD
LOGICAL kind selector for a 32-bit logical type.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: LOGICAL64
LOGICAL kind selector for a 64-bit logical type.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: ASCII
CHARACTER kind selector for the ASCII character set.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: JIS
CHARACTER kind selector for the JIS X 0213:2004 character set.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: UCS2
CHARACTER kind selector for the UCS-2 (Unicode) character set.
INTEGER,PARAMETER :: UCS4
CHARACTER kind selector for the UCS-4 (ISO 10646) character set.
