Time Formatting Parsing in Co-array Fortran
This Co-array Fortran program demonstrates time formatting and parsing. Here’s an explanation of the key parts:
We use the
iso_fortran_env
andiso_c_binding
modules for compatibility with C functions.The
format_time
function is used to format time according to specified patterns. It uses the C functionstrftime
to perform the actual formatting.The
parse_time
subroutine is used to parse time strings. It uses the C functionstrptime
for parsing.We demonstrate formatting the current time using various formats, including RFC3339.
We show how to parse a time string into a
tm
structure.Custom time formats are demonstrated for both formatting and parsing.
We extract individual components of the time (year, month, day, etc.) and format them manually.
Error handling is demonstrated when parsing an invalid time string.
Note that Co-array Fortran doesn’t have built-in time manipulation functions as extensive as Go’s. We’re using C interoperability to access C’s time functions. The exact implementation of strftime
and strptime
would depend on the specific Fortran compiler and system libraries available.
To run this program, you would typically save it to a file (e.g., time_formatting_parsing.f90
), compile it with a Co-array Fortran compiler, and then execute the resulting binary.
The output would be similar to the Go example, showing various formatted times and the results of parsing operations.
