<P>
There is a simple correspondence between VAX FORTRAN and VAX C numeric variable
types. The standard types are given in the upper part of
the table below
and non-standard extensions in the lower
part.
These should generally be avoided for reasons of portability. However, they are
provided since
<A HREF="/star/docs/sun92.htx/sun92.html#xref_">HDS</A>
has corresponding data types.

<P>
Although VAX C defines unsigned data types of <TT>unsigned char</TT> (range 0
to 255), <TT>unsigned short</TT> (range 0 to 32767) and <TT>unsigned int</TT>
(range 0 to 2<SUP>32</SUP>-1), there are no corresponding unsigned data types in
FORTRAN.
There is also a C type called <TT>long int</TT>; however in VAX C, this is the
same as an <TT>int</TT>.
<P>
The C language does not specify whether variables of type <TT>char</TT> should be
stored as signed or unsigned values. On VMS, they are stored as signed
values in the range -128 to 127.
<P>
Similarly there is no C data type that corresponds to the FORTRAN data type of
<TT>COMPLEX</TT>.
However, since VAX FORTRAN passes all numeric variable by reference, a
<TT>COMPLEX</TT> variable could be passed to a VAX C subprogram where it might
be handled as a structure consisting of two variables of type <TT>float</TT>.
<P>
A VAX FORTRAN <TT>LOGICAL</TT> value can be passed to a VAX C <TT>int</TT>, but
care must be taken over the interpretation of the value since VAX FORTRAN only
considers the lower bit of the longword to be significant (0 is false, 1 is
true) whereas VAX C treats any numerical value other than 0 as true.
When VAX FORTRAN sets a
logical value to true, it sets all the bits. This corresponds to a numerical
value of minus one.
