As Fortran 2018 18.2.3.3, the intrinsic module procedure
C_F_POINTER(CPTR, FPTR [, SHAPE]) associates a data pointer with the
target of a C pointer and specify its shape. CPTR shall be a scalar of
type C_PTR, and its value is the C address or the result of a reference
to C_LOC. FPTR is one pointer, either scalar or array. SHAPE is a
rank-one integer array, and it shall be present if and only if FPTR is
an array.
C_PTR is the derived type with only one component of integer 64, and the
integer 64 component value is the address. Build the right "source"
fir::ExtendedValue based on the address and shape, and use
associateMutableBox to associate the pointer with the target of the C
pointer.
Refactor the getting the address of C_PTR to reuse the code.
Can you move this helper into the Optimizer/Builder/FIRBuilder.h header into the factory namespace ? That is where all helpers generating code from MLIR data structures live. ConvertExpr.h is mainly intended to define utilities that takes an evaluate::XXX data structure and generate FIR for it.
