Linking tcl and fortran Posted by Avarice (Avarice), 24 July 2003 Alright, i've looked and i cannot find a good tutorial about linking fortran and tcl. I found plenty for C but that doesn't help me. Alright i have a GUI to input data. Then it saves data into a file we'll call input.in I have the Fortran program we'll call process.x which takes the input from input.in and process and gives out several outputs such as output.dat output.plot input.out. proc runcommand {} { What do i put here so that it reads or executes or whatever process.x } i'm so confused. Thankyou so much Graham Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 24 July 2003 Do you want your Fortran program to be able to share variable space with Tcl and/or add extra commands written in Fortran to Tcl?The reason it's well documented and easy to do this sort of thing in C is because Tcl is written in C, and was originally intended as a language for embedding. Fortran can also be interfaced to C on most operating systems; I've done it in a Microsoft environment and on Solaris, and if I needed to make Fortran code available in Tcl I would do it as a two-step process a) Write a C wrapper around my Fortran Subroutines b) Write a C application that called that wrapper and also the Tcl libraries Posted by Avarice (Avarice), 25 July 2003 Unfortunately i do not have the fortran source code for the program so i can't do that. what happens is my tcl interface saves a bunch of variables in a file input.inInput.in contains a shit load of numbers The fortran program reads these numbers and runs a simulation I need to add a run button to my interface so that when the user clicks it then it runs the fortran program. Posted by Avarice (Avarice), 25 July 2003 btw is there a way to delete/destroy array variables like $int_wx(5)?Posted by Avarice (Avarice), 25 July 2003 could i just proc runcommand {} { exec immersion_t_2d.x} ?? also what is the deal with | piping things? Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 26 July 2003 If you're running a program in another language from Tcl, it doesn't matter what language the second program is written in - that only matters if you're trying to build them into a single executable which is how I initially understood your question. In your first post, you say "I found plenty for C" ... then that material will be just as applicable for your Fortran program too.The unset command can be used to delete a variable, and that includes a variable in an array: Code:
Posted by Don (Don), 11 August 2003 Plese Help,i really dont know how to start linking tcl and fortran. Let say i have a function in fortram called AFunct ,... then i need to call it from to Tcl and get the return value(if it can return) , ..... how to wrap any concrete example Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 11 August 2003 You really need to use a C "bridge". See John Ousterhout's book on Tcl which has excellent coverage of this, and then look at Fortran/C documentation so see how to do that link. You should be able to find plenty of example; I'm away from my desk for a few days and don't have any examples to hand at the moment, but do follow up in (say) 7 days time if you haven't come up with an answer. By then I'll be back and able to post some better links / assistance.Posted by Don (Don), 11 August 2003 oh, thanks for the advice, i'll look for the book soon,.............. , just need to know first that it CAN actually be done, before i really start my long long program.... if it can't be done, then no use that i start with Tcl. i'll come to the forum again after the 7 day ...in case still cannot find solution This page is a thread posted to the opentalk forum
