derived type constructors

derived type constructors

(OP)

Hello, I'm using gcc 6.3 on w7-64, with these gfortran compile flags
FLAGS = -std=f2008 -O2 -Wall -Wextra -fno-range-check

Is this legal code?

CODE --> fortran

MODULE WAV

    integer, parameter :: int2  = selected_int_kind(2)
    integer, parameter :: int4  = selected_int_kind(4)
    integer, parameter :: int8  = selected_int_kind(8)
    integer, parameter :: int16 = selected_int_kind(16)
    integer, parameter :: SP    = selected_real_kind(4)
    integer, parameter :: DP    = selected_real_kind(8)
    integer, parameter :: QP    = selected_real_kind(16)

    TYPE                :: HEADER       ! DERIVED TYPE
      CHARACTER (LEN=8) :: FILE_ID
      INTEGER(INT8)     :: FILE_LENGTH
      CHARACTER(LEN=8)  :: FILE_TYPE
      CHARACTER(LEN=8)  :: SUBHEADER1_FORMAT
      INTEGER(INT8)     :: SUBHEADER1_LENGTH
      INTEGER(INT8)     :: AUDIO_FORMAT
      INTEGER(INT8)     :: NUM_CHAN
      INTEGER(INT8)     :: SAMPLE_RATE
      INTEGER(INT8)     :: BYTE_RATE
      INTEGER(INT8)     :: BLOCK_ALIGN
      INTEGER(INT8)     :: BITS_PER_SAMP
      CHARACTER(LEN=8)  :: SUBHEADER2_FORMAT
      INTEGER(INT8)     :: SUBHEADER2_LENGTH  
    END TYPE

    CONTAINS

    SUBROUTINE CLEAR_HEADER(W_HEADER)

    IMPLICIT NONE
    TYPE (HEADER), INTENT(OUT) :: W_HEADER
    CHARACTER (LEN=8), PARAMETER :: CHAR8 = '        '

    W_HEADER % FILE_ID            = CHAR8   !  01
    W_HEADER % FILE_LENGTH        = 0_INT8  !  02
    W_HEADER % FILE_TYPE          = CHAR8   !  03
    W_HEADER % SUBHEADER1_FORMAT  = CHAR8   !  04
    W_HEADER % SUBHEADER1_LENGTH  = 0_INT8  !  05
    W_HEADER % AUDIO_FORMAT       = 0_INT8  !  06
    W_HEADER % NUM_CHAN           = 0_INT8  !  07
    W_HEADER % SAMPLE_RATE        = 0_INT8  !  08
    W_HEADER % BYTE_RATE          = 0_INT8  !  09
    W_HEADER % BLOCK_ALIGN        = 0_INT8  !  10
    W_HEADER % BITS_PER_SAMP      = 0_INT8  !  11
    W_HEADER % SUBHEADER2_FORMAT  = CHAR8   !  12
    W_HEADER % SUBHEADER2_LENGTH  = 0_INT8  !  13

    W_HEADER = [CHAR8, 0_INT8, CHAR8, CHAR8, 0_INT8, 0_INT8, 0_INT8, &
               0_INT8, 0_INT8, 0_INT8, 0_INT8, CHAR8, 0_INT8 ]

    END SUBROUTINE CLEAR_HEADER

    END MODULE WAV

I get this compile error.

CODE --> 

W_HEADER = [CHAR8, 0_INT8, CHAR8, CHAR8, 0_INT8, 0_INT8, 0_INT8, &
                     1
    Error: Element in CHARACTER(1) array constructor at (1) is INTEGER(4)
    make: *** [makefile:12: ref_time_source.o] Error 1

Thank you.

RE: derived type constructors

That is because [], like (/ /) is used for arrays. To assign to a type you could use one of the following

CODE

W_HEADER = HEADER(FILE_ID = CHAR8, FILE_LENGTH = 0_INT8, ...)
W_HEADER = HEADER(CHAR8, 0_INT8, ...)

Note that in the first example, since it is parameter driven, the members do not have to be in order

Got it, thank you.
