2 typedef typedefs are a way to make shorthand for data types, and possibly also make the code more general (e.g., make a single-precision and double-precision version from the same code). / D e c l a r e r e a l to be the same as double / typedef double r e a l ; r e a l x, y, z ; You can t use modifiers with typedef d data types, e.g. long real would give a compiler error.

3 typedef typedefs are most often used for structs. Instead of s t r u c t v e c t o r { double x, y, z ; } ; s t r u c t v e c t o r r ; one can write typedef s t r u c t { double x, y, z ; } v e c t o r ; v e c t o r r ; Scientific Programming in C, fall 2012 Susi Lehtola More features 3/58

4 switch Now that we have a working knowledge of C, we can discuss some more features of C. The switch statement is an alternative to using many if statements, when an expression is only evaluated once. The wanted possibilities are identified in the switch statement, and the execution proceeds to the relevant branch if one exists. The default branch (if it exists) is executed if no other branch is matched. The execution continues until the end of the switch statement or until a break statement is encountered.

6 switch example, cont d In the preceding example, if c is a newline character, the number of lines is incremented. However, because there is no break statement, the program continues to the default case, and the number of characters is also incremented for the newline character.

13 enum enums are a way to declare constant integer values. By default the numbering starts from 0. / NO i s 0, YES i s 1 / enum t r u t h {NO, YES } ; You can also change the starting point enum weekday {MON=1, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, SUN} ; enum month {JAN=1, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, \ JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC} ; or specify all of the values manually enum e s c a p e s { BELL= \a, BACKSPACE= \b, TAB= \ t, NEWLINE= \n, VTAB= \ v, RETURN= \ r } ; Scientific Programming in C, fall 2012 Susi Lehtola More features 13/58

14 Using enums The typical case where you want to use enums is when your program has many different runmodes. Using enums instead of a manually constructed list using #defines makes programming less error-prone. Scientific Programming in C, fall 2012 Susi Lehtola More features 14/58

15 enum example The following example is from the Casida TDDFT routines of ERKALE: / What k i n d o f c o u p l i n g i s used / enum c o u p l i n g m o d e { / I n d e p e n d e n t P a r t i c l e A p p r o x i m a t i o n / IPA, / Random Phase A p p r o x i m a t i o n / RPA, / Time Dependent L o c a l D e n s i t y A p p r o x i m a t i o n / TDLDA } ; Calculations can be made within different levels of theory, IPA being the simplest, RPA being much more sophisticated and TDLDA furthermore adding some minor corrections.

16 enum example, cont d In the code enum c o u p l i n g m o d e c o u p l i n g ; When the input is parsed, coupling is then set to IPA, RPA or TDLDA, depending on the input arguments. In the code comparisons can be then made using the symbolic values, e.g. s w i t c h ( c o u p l i n g ) { case (TDLDA ) : / Code c a l c u l a t i n g l o c a l d e n s i t y c o r r e c t i o n s / case (RPA ) : / Code c a l c u l a t i n g e f f e c t o f Coulomb i n t e r a c t i o n / case ( IPA ) : / No c o r r e c t i o n s / } Here TDLDA RPA IPA.

17 Another alternative to multidimensional arrays As it was mentioned in the pointer lecture, there are many ways to handle multidimensional arrays in C. The recommended way is to use dynamic memory allocation with manual indexing, as then one can be sure that the memory is allocated continguously and no memory trashing occurs.

The recommended way is to use dynamic memory allocation with manual indexing, as then one can be sure that the memory is allocated continguously and no memory trashing occurs. However, there is also another alternative. Remember that arrays are pointers to the start of the array. Scientific Programming in C, fall 2012 Susi Lehtola More features 18/58

19 Another alternative to multidimensional arrays, cont d #i n c l u d e < s t d l i b. h> i n t main ( v o i d ) { / S i z e o f t h e a r r a y / s i z e t M=20, N=10; s i z e t i ; / P o i n t e r to t h e a r r a y o f p o i n t e r s / double p=null ; / A l l o c a t e memory f o r t h e p o i n t e r a r r a y / p=m a l l o c (M s i z e o f ( double ) ) ; / A l l o c a t e memory f o r t h e e l e m e n t s o f t h e a r r a y / p [0]= m a l l o c (M N s i z e o f ( double ) ) ; / I n i t i a l i z e t h e r e s t o f t h e a r r a y / f o r ( i =1; i <M; i ++) p [ i ]=p [0]+ i M s i z e o f ( double ) ; / Now e l e m e n t s o f t h e a r r a y can be a c c e s s e d w i t h p [ i ] [ j ] as w i t h t h e normal p o i n t e r a r r a y / } / F r e e t h e memory / f r e e ( p [ 0 ] ) ; f r e e ( p ) ; r e t u r n 0 ; Scientific Programming in C, fall 2012 Susi Lehtola More features 19/58

20 Another alternative to multidimensional arrays, cont d This is completely analogous to using static multidimensional arrays double t[2][3]; t t[0][0] t[0][1] t[0][2] t[1][0] t[1][1] t[1][2] t[0] t[1] the difference being that now the arrays are allocated dynamically. In contrast to the manual indexing scheme where you can decide what kind of ordering to use, here you always end up using the normal C ordering (last index runs fastest).

21 Pointers to functions Also functions can be handled as pointers in C. Note the difference in syntax / A f u n c t i o n t h a t r e t u r n s a p o i n t e r to i n t / i n t f ( ) ; / A p o i n t e r to a f u n c t i o n t h a t r e t u r n s i n t / i n t ( p f ) ( ) ; Scientific Programming in C, fall 2012 Susi Lehtola More features 21/58

22 Pointers to functions, cont d You can use function pointers to write generalized code, e.g. double e v a l ( double ( f ) ( double ), double x ) { / E v a l u a t e f u n c t i o n at x / return f ( x ) ; } which you can call with e v a l ( s i n, 1. 0 ) ; Scientific Programming in C, fall 2012 Susi Lehtola More features 22/58

23 Pointers to functions, cont d You can also use arrays of functions: #i n c l u d e <math. h> #i n c l u d e <s t d i o. h> #i n c l u d e < s t d l i b. h> i n t main ( v o i d ) { / P o i n t e r to p o i n t e r to f u n c t i o n f ( x ) / double ( f ) ( double x ) ; / H e l p e r / i n t i ; / A l l o c a t e memory f o r a r r a y / f=m a l l o c (3 s i z e o f ( double ( ) ( double ) ) ) ; / and s e t e l e m e n t s / f [0]= s i n ; / f ( x ) = s i n ( x ) / f [1]= l o g ; / f ( x ) = l o g ( x ) / f [2]= s q r t ; / f ( x ) = s q r t ( x ) / / P r i n t v a l u e s a t x =1.0 / f o r ( i =0; i <3; i ++) p r i n t f ( ( f )[% i ](1.0)=% e \n, i, f [ i ] ( 1. 0 ) ) ; f r e e ( f ) ; r e t u r n 0 ; } Scientific Programming in C, fall 2012 Susi Lehtola More features 23/58

29 Interfacing C with Fortran, cont d Conventionally it has been the case that people have wanted to use Fortran routines from C, mainly LAPACK (linear algebra such as matrix diagonalization). Nowadays also many Fortran users want to interface to C, as there are many extremely useful libraries available that have been written in C (or C++), such as the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) or FFTW.

30 Interfacing C with Fortran, cont d Although compiler-dependent interfacing has been around for a long time, the C interface has been only recently standardized in Fortran I will use the Fortran data types introduced in the 2003 standard in order to avoid defining the sizes manually. This has no effect on code portability, as if you don t have Fortran 2003 features you can just write a dummy ISO C BINDING module which defines the sizes of the datatypes in Fortran 90 code.

31 Interfacing C with Fortran, cont d In order to prevent unwanted mixed-language programming, the Fortran function names are usually suffixed with an underscore. However, this is dependent on the compiler: it might not be added it might be added two might be added You can adjust these with compiler flags, e.g. -fno-underscoring and -fsecond-underscore in gfortran.

57 C to Fortran interface, matrices cont d Fortran also has the intrinsic transpose function, which you can use to convert the indexing when you mix code. This will result in some computational overhead. If your matrices are very large, this is a thing you really want to avoid.... but if the matrices are not very big, the overhead is probably acceptable wrt to the cleaner code.

58 Loop optimizations Remember that the memory ordering in C is row major, and column major in Fortran. When writing loops you should keep this in mind. double f ( s i z e t i, s i z e t j ) ; c o n s t s i z e t M=1000, N=200; double mat [M] [ N ] ; s i z e t i, j ; f o r ( j =0; j <N; j ++) f o r ( i =0; i <M; i ++) mat [ i ] [ j ]= f ( i, j ) ; Here the loops are in wrong order. Changing to the correct memory order is beneficial. Scientific Programming in C, fall 2012 Susi Lehtola More features 58/58
