I can use Fortran optional argumenrs with subroutines with intent(in)
and intent(inout)
, but with functions optional arguments work only with intent(in)
, right? With intent(inout)
I get segmentation faults in the following code:
real function foo(x, tol)
real, intent(in) :: x
real, optional, intent(inout) :: tol
if( .not. present(tol) ) tol = 1e-6
!...
end function foo
I found the problem, I used the variable even when not present on the fourth line (in tol = 1e-6
):
real function foo(x, tol)
real, intent(in) :: x
real, optional, intent(inout) :: tol
if( .not. present(tol) ) tol = 1e-6
!...
end function foo
But I would like to use it even when not present and set a default value, like when in C++ we do something like that
double foo(double x, double tol=1e-6)
Unfortunately, it seems it is not possible in Fortran.
