<span id="Plan-execution-in-Fortran-1"></span><h3 class="section">7.4 Plan execution in Fortran</h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>In C, in order to use a plan, one normally calls <code>fftw_execute</code>,
 | 
						|
which executes the plan to perform the transform on the input/output
 | 
						|
arrays passed when the plan was created (see <a href="Using-Plans.html">Using Plans</a>).  The
 | 
						|
corresponding subroutine call in modern Fortran is:
 | 
						|
</p><div class="example">
 | 
						|
<pre class="example"> call fftw_execute(plan)
 | 
						|
</pre></div>
 | 
						|
<span id="index-fftw_005fexecute-6"></span>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>However, we have had reports that this causes problems with some
 | 
						|
recent optimizing Fortran compilers.  The problem is, because the
 | 
						|
input/output arrays are not passed as explicit arguments to
 | 
						|
<code>fftw_execute</code>, the semantics of Fortran (unlike C) allow the
 | 
						|
compiler to assume that the input/output arrays are not changed by
 | 
						|
<code>fftw_execute</code>.  As a consequence, certain compilers end up
 | 
						|
repositioning the call to <code>fftw_execute</code>, assuming incorrectly
 | 
						|
that it does nothing to the arrays.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<p>There are various workarounds to this, but the safest and simplest
 | 
						|
thing is to not use <code>fftw_execute</code> in Fortran.  Instead, use the
 | 
						|
functions described in <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html">New-array Execute Functions</a>, which take
 | 
						|
the input/output arrays as explicit arguments.  For example, if the
 | 
						|
plan is for a complex-data DFT and was created for the arrays
 | 
						|
<code>in</code> and <code>out</code>, you would do:
 | 
						|
</p><div class="example">
 | 
						|
<pre class="example"> call fftw_execute_dft(plan, in, out)
 | 
						|
</pre></div>
 | 
						|
<span id="index-fftw_005fexecute_005fdft-3"></span>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>There are a few things to be careful of, however:
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<ul>
 | 
						|
<li> <span id="index-fftw_005fexecute_005fdft_005fr2c-2"></span>
 | 
						|
<span id="index-fftw_005fexecute_005fdft_005fc2r-1"></span>
 | 
						|
<span id="index-fftw_005fexecute_005fr2r-1"></span>
 | 
						|
You must use the correct type of execute function, matching the way
 | 
						|
the plan was created.  Complex DFT plans should use
 | 
						|
<code>fftw_execute_dft</code>, Real-input (r2c) DFT plans should use use
 | 
						|
<code>fftw_execute_dft_r2c</code>, and real-output (c2r) DFT plans should
 | 
						|
use <code>fftw_execute_dft_c2r</code>.  The various r2r plans should use
 | 
						|
<code>fftw_execute_r2r</code>.  Fortunately, if you use the wrong one you
 | 
						|
will get a compile-time type-mismatch error (unlike legacy Fortran).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> You should normally pass the same input/output arrays that were used when
 | 
						|
creating the plan.  This is always safe.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <em>If</em> you pass <em>different</em> input/output arrays compared to
 | 
						|
those used when creating the plan, you must abide by all the
 | 
						|
restrictions of the new-array execute functions (see <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html">New-array Execute Functions</a>).  The most tricky of these is the
 | 
						|
requirement that the new arrays have the same alignment as the
 | 
						|
original arrays; the best (and possibly only) way to guarantee this
 | 
						|
is to use the ‘<samp>fftw_alloc</samp>’ functions to allocate your arrays (see <a href="Allocating-aligned-memory-in-Fortran.html">Allocating aligned memory in Fortran</a>). Alternatively, you can
 | 
						|
use the <code>FFTW_UNALIGNED</code> flag when creating the
 | 
						|
plan, in which case the plan does not depend on the alignment, but
 | 
						|
this may sacrifice substantial performance on architectures (like x86)
 | 
						|
with SIMD instructions (see <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>).
