changing array dimensions in fortran

by

See the RESHAPE intrinsic, e.g.

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/RESHAPE.html

Alternatively, if you want to avoid the copy (in some cases an optimizing compiler might be able to do a reshape without copying, e.g. if the RHS array is not used afterwards, but I wouldn’t count on it), as of Fortran 2003 you can assign pointers to targets of different rank, using bounds remapping. E.g. something like

program ptrtest
  real, pointer :: a(:)
  real, pointer :: b(:,:)
  integer :: n = 10
  allocate(a(n**2))
  a = 42
  b (1:n, 1:n) => a
end program ptrtest
