A generalization of the Fortran 95/90 WHERE statement and construct. It allows more general array shapes to be assigned, especially in construct form. Statement format: FORALL (triplet-spec [,triplet-spec]...[,mask-expr]) assign-stmt Construct format: [name: ] FORALL (triplet-spec [,triplet-spec]...[,mask-expr]) forall-body-stmt [forall-body-stmt]... END FORALL [name] name Is the name of the FORALL construct. triplet-spec Is a triplet specification with the following form: subscript-name = subscript-1 : subscript-2 [:stride] The "subscript-name" must be a scalar of type integer. It is valid only within the scope of the FORALL; its value is undefined on completion of the FORALL. The "subscript"s and "stride" cannot contain a reference to any "subscript-name" in "triplet-spec". The "stride" cannot be zero. If it is omitted, the default value is 1. Evaluation of an expression in a triplet specification must not affect the result of evaluating any other expression in another triplet specification. mask-expr Is a logical array expression (called the mask expression). If it is omitted, the value .TRUE. is assumed. The mask expression can reference the subscript name in "triplet-spec". assign-stmt Is an assignment statement or a pointer assignment statement. The variable being assigned to must be an array element or array section and must reference all subscript names included in all "triplet-spec"s. forall-body-stmt Is one of the following: o An "assign-stmt" o A WHERE statement or construct The WHERE statement or construct uses a mask to make array assignments. o A FORALL statement or construct If a construct name is specified in the FORALL statement, the same name must appear in the corresponding END FORALL statement. A FORALL statement is executed by first evaluating all bounds and stride expressions in the triplet specifications, giving a set of values for each subscript name. The FORALL assignment statement is executed for all combinations of subscript name values for which the mask expression is true. The FORALL assignment statement is executed as if all expressions (on both sides of the assignment) are completely evaluated before any part of the left side is changed. Valid values are assigned to corresponding elements of the array being assigned to. No element of an array can be assigned a value more than once. A FORALL construct is executed as if it were multiple FORALL statements, with the same triplet specifications and mask expressions. Each statement in the FORALL body is executed completely before execution begins on the next FORALL body statement. Any procedure referenced in the mask expression or FORALL assignment statement must be pure. Pure functions can be used in the mask expression or called directly in a FORALL statement. Pure subroutines cannot be called directly in a FORALL statement, but can be called from other pure procedures. EXAMPLES: Consider the following: FORALL(I = 1:N, J = 1:N, A(I, J) .NE. 0.0) B(I, J) = 1.0 / A(I, J) This statement takes the reciprocal of each nonzero element of array A(1:N, 1:N) and assigns it to the corresponding element of array B. Elements of A that are zero do not have their reciprocal taken, and no assignments are made to corresponding elements of B. Every array assignment statement and WHERE statement can be written as a FORALL statement, but some FORALL statements cannot be written using just array syntax. For example, the preceding FORALL statement is equivalent to the following: WHERE(A /= 0.0) B = 1.0 / A It is also equivalent to: FORALL (I = 1:N, J = 1:N) WHERE(A(I, J) .NE. 0.0) B(I, J) = 1.0/A(I, J) END FORALL However, the following FORALL example cannot be written using just array syntax: FORALL(I = 1:N, J = 1:N) H(I, J) = 1.0/REAL(I + J - 1) This statement sets array element H(I, J) to the value 1.0/REAL(I + J - 1) for values of I and J between 1 and N. Consider the following: TYPE MONARCH INTEGER, POINTER :: P END TYPE MONARCH TYPE(MONARCH), DIMENSION(8) :: PATTERN INTEGER, DIMENSION(8), TARGET :: OBJECT FORALL(J=1:8) PATTERN(J)%P => OBJECT(1+IEOR(J-1,2)) This FORALL statement causes elements 1 through 8 of array PATTERN to point to elements 3, 4, 1, 2, 7, 8, 5, and 6, respectively, of OBJECT. IEOR can be referenced here because it is pure. The following example shows a FORALL construct: FORALL(I = 3:N + 1, J = 3:N + 1) C(I, J) = C(I, J + 2) + C(I, J - 2) + C(I + 2, J) + C(I - 2, J) D(I, J) = C(I, J) END FORALL The assignment to array D uses the values of C computed in the first statement in the construct, not the values before the construct began execution. FORALL is a language feature of Fortran 95.
