Before I go on, I'd like to thank everyone on the list for the help
you've given me over the years... I defended my PhD recently, and I
know this list helped me greatly with some technical issues. So
thank you all!
Now then, my question - is transfer() a particularly slow function,
or not? I realize the question is so broad as to be almost
meaningless, but I'm particularly thinking of it being used to mimic
run-time polymorphism. Would doing so in a computationally intensive
code be a bad idea? Or is this implementation dependent? Also,
since it is a bit obscure as far as F90 commands go, is it often
buggy, in people's experience?
While the question is academic for the moment, it may not be so in
the foreseeable future. I would be using transfer near the innermost
loop of a CFD-type code to implement expansion function
polymorphism.
