General purpose datatypes
- General purpose datatypes
General Purpose Datatypes (GPD) are a collection of datatypes defined independently of any particular programming language or implementation. These datatypes can be used to describe interfaces to existing libraries without having to specify the language (such as Fortran or C).
The datatypes are specified by ISO standard ISO/IEC 11404. The first edition of this standard was published in 1996 under the title "Language-independent datatypes". The standard is currently being revised by the responsible ISO sub-committee (JTC1/SC22 - Information Technology - Programming languages). The proposed revision has the new title "General Purpose Datatypes".
