IARGCOUNT () Class: Inquiry function - Specific Returns the count of actual arguments passed to the current routine. The result is of type default integer. Functions with a type of CHARACTER, COMPLEX(KIND=8), REAL(KIND=16), and COMPLEX(KIND=16) have an extra argument added that is used to return the function value. Formal (dummy) arguments that can be omitted must be declared VOLATILE. Formal arguments of type CHARACTER cannot be omitted. Formal arguments that are adjustable arrays cannot be omitted. The standard way to pass and detect omitted arguments is to use the Fortran 95 features of OPTIONAL arguments and the PRESENT intrinsic function. Note that a declaration must be visible within the calling routine. The following example shows the IARGCOUNT intrinsic: CALL SUB (A,B) ... SUBROUTINE SUB (X,Y,Z) VOLATILE Z TYPE *, IARGCOUNT() !
