Revision as of 10:30, 8 May 2019
The possibility of using external libraries (that are loaded at runtime) has been available in C/C++ for a long time, but in Fortran became only available as of Fortran2003.
In the case of XDS, frame-reading and computation can be separated starting with version November-2016. This allows users/companies to develop their own specialized frame-reading libraries, and relieves the XDS maintainers from implementing even more file formats.
In the following, small examples are given for
- how a program ("host") may use an existing external library, e.g. the dectris-neggia library (source; pre-compiled)
- how an external library ("client") may be implemented that XDS can use
The glue code between host and client is based on http://cims.nyu.edu/~donev/Fortran/DLL/DLL.Forum.txt . There should be no need to change this, unless the interface design changes.
The interface was designed by Markus Mathes (Dectris), Vittorio Boccone (Dectris) and Kay Diederichs. It is supposed to be generic, i.e. useful beyond XDS. In particular, the 4096 bytes of the info_array can be utilized to obtain and use header information (e.g. wavelength, distance, axes specifications and other metadata).
The interface has several implementations.
