Fortran stdlib API Documentation
This is the main API documentation landing page generated by FORD. The documentation for comment markup in source code, running FORD and the FORD project file are all maintained on the FORD wiki.
Goals and Motivation
The Fortran Standard, as published by the ISO (https://wg5-fortran.org/), does
not have a Standard Library. The goal of this project is to provide a community
driven and agreed upon de facto "standard" library for Fortran, called a
Fortran Standard Library (stdlib). We have a rigorous process how stdlib is
developed as documented in our Workflow. stdlib is both a
specification and a reference implementation. We are cooperating with the
Fortran Standards Committee (e.g., the effort
started at the J3
committee repository) and the plan is to continue working with the Committee in
the future (such as in the step 5. in the Workflow document), so
that if the Committee wants to standardize some feature already available in stdlib, it would
base it on stdlib's implementation.
Scope
The goal of the Fortran Standard Library is to achieve the following general scope:
- Utilities (containers, strings, files, OS/environment integration, unit testing & assertions, logging, ...)
- Algorithms (searching and sorting, merging, ...)
- Mathematics (linear algebra, sparse matrices, special functions, fast Fourier transform, random numbers, statistics, ordinary differential equations, numerical integration, optimization, ...)
Code of Conduct
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
