Detailed Description

Generate and return the conversion of the input value to an output Fortran string, possibly with the requested format and sign symbol, if provided.

Returns
Parameters
[out]str: The output scalar of type character of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., SK, SKA, SKD , or SKU) containing the input value as a string with the specified format.
[out]length: The output scalar of type integer of default kind IK representing the length of the record written to the output string (i.e., str(1:length) is the record).
[in]val: The input scalar or contiguous array of rank 0, 1, or 2 of either
  1. type css_type (derived type container of scalar string of default kind SK) or
  2. type css_pdt (parameterized derived type container of scalar string of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., SK, SKA, SKD , or SKU)) or
  3. type character of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., SK, SKA, SKD , or SKU) or
  4. type integer of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., IK, IK8, IK16, IK32, or IK64) or
  5. type logical of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., LK) or
  6. type complex of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., CK, CK32, CK64, or CK128) or
  7. type real of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., RK, RK32, RK64, or RK128).
containing the value to be converted to string.
[in]format: The input scalar of type character of default kind SK representing the Fortran IO format to be used when writing the value to the output allocatable character
(optional, the default value depends on the type of the input val:
  1. If val is of type complex and the sign argument is missing, then format = "(*('(',g0,', ',g0,')',:,', '))".
  2. If val is of type complex and sign = .true., then format = "(*('(',sp,g0,', ',g0,')',:,', '))".
  3. If val is of type integer or real and the sign argument is missing, then format = "(*(g0,:,', '))".
  4. If val is of type integer or real and the sign argument is missing, then format = "(*(sp,g0,:,', '))".
  5. If val is neither integer nor real nor complex, then format = "(*(g0,:,','))". However,
    1. If val is of type character, then the blank characters are trimmed form the right side of each value.
    2. If val is of type logical, then the values TRUE and FALSE are output, corresponding to .true. and .false..
In all cases, the default separator is a comma followed by white space character ,.)
[in]signed: The input scalar of type logical of default kind LK. If .true., the output, if it is a number, will be signed (+ or -).
Otherwise, the output numbers will be unsigned. The value of signed is ignored if the optional input argument format is present.
(optional, default = .false.)


Possible calling interfaces

use pm_val2str, only: setStr
call setStr(str, val, format = format, length = length, signed = signed)
call setStr(str, val(:), format = format, length = length, signed = signed)
call setStr(str, val(:,:), format = format, length = length, signed = signed)

Definition: pm_val2str.F90:58
Remarks
The procedures under discussion are pure.
Warning
The length of the input argument str must be large enough to contain the full input value.
This condition is verified only if the library is built with the preprocessor macro CHECK_ENABLED=1.

Bug:

Status: Unresolved
Source: GNU Fortran Compiler gfortran version 10.3-11
Description: The GNU Fortran Compiler gfortran cannot handle IO of string arrays of zero-length of non-zero size in getStr() in assertion check blocks.
The issue happens to be with deferred-length strings character(:,SKG), allocatable :: Array(:).
The Intel Classic Fortran Compiler ifort can handle this properly.

Remedy (as of ParaMonte Library version 2.0.0): Avoid deferred-length strings where GNU Fortran Compiler gfortran cannot compile.
Todo:
Low Priority: This generic interface can be expanded to arrays of higher dimensions than two.
Todo:
Critical Priority: The default length of fields must be generically defined.
Currently, the maximum length of the fields is set to 127.
While this number is more than enough precisions of much higher orders available by compilers, it is bound to fail in the distant future.
Therefore, it must be generically set based on the precision of the fields.
