Generic programming is a method for reusing a single piece in different contexts, such as with multiple data types. For example, the main body of a single numerical procedure can be reused for both single and double precision real variables or the code for a linked list can be reused for lists of integers, reals, or strings.

Generic programming is not available in Fortran 95 and it is only available in the form of parametrized user-defined types in Fortran 2003. However, the use of a preprocessor can assist with generic programming.

Examples

See McGavin and Young (2001) and FLIBS for generic linked list implementations.

James Van Buskirk has written a generic version of BLAS available here: http://home.comcast.net/~kmbtib/Fortran_stuff/GENERIC_BLAS.ZIP
