Mixed Language Programming

BIBLIOGRAPHY ON MIXED LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING

The topic of mixed language programming, or inter language communication, has in recent years received greater attention than before. This is partly due to the successful acceptance of the high-level languages Ada, C and Pascal, together with the strong survival of the classical languages Cobol and Fortran.

Fortran 90 is in some implementations difficult to mix with Fortran 77. A discussion of this is given in chapter 15 of the tutorial by Bo Einarsson and Yurij Shokin.

Several papers on mixed language programming have been published.
