! NOTES
!
!  (A) C_LOC and character strings according to the Fortran 2003 standard:
!
!  15.1.2.5 C_LOC(X)
!
!  Argument. X shall either
!
!  (1) have interoperable type and type parameters and be
!    (a) a variable that has the TARGET attribute and is interoperable,
!    (b) an allocated allocatable variable that has the TARGET attribute
!        and is not an array of zero size, or
!    (c) an associated scalar pointer, or
!  (2) be a nonpolymorphic scalar, have no length type parameters, and be
!    (a) a nonallocatable, nonpointer variable that has the TARGET attribute,
!    (b) an allocated allocatable variable that has the TARGET attribute, or
!    (c) an associated pointer.
!
!  - When X is a character, for interoperability the standard is:
!
!  15.2.1 Interoperability of intrinsic types
!
!  ...if the type is character, interoperability also requires that the length type parameter
!  be omitted or be specified by an initialization expression whose value is one.
!
!  THEREFORE compilers that have not extended the standard  require
!
!  CHARACTER(LEN=1), TARGET :: chr
!  or
!  CHARACTER, TARGET :: chr
!
!  (B)

!  If you add a new H5A function you must add the function name to the
!  Windows dll file 'hdf5_fortrandll.def.in' in the fortran/src directory.
!  This is needed for Windows based operating systems.
