CNF_PVAL - Expand a FORTRAN pointer to its full value

Description:

Given a FORTRAN pointer, stored in an INTEGER variable, this function returns the full value of the pointer (on some platforms, this may be longer than an INTEGER). Typically, this is only required when the pointer is used to pass dynamically allocated memory to another routine using the %VAL facility.

Invocation:

CALL DOIT( ..., %VAL( CNF_PVAL( FPTR ) ), ... )

Arguments:

FPTR = INTEGER (Given)

The FORTRAN pointer value.

Returned Value:

CNF_PVAL

The full pointer value.

Notes:

• The data type of this function will depend on the platform in use and is declared in the include file CNF_PAR.
