130. storage_size(A) returns the storage size of argument A in bits.

topic: Data types

Note

This tip is a draft1.

storage_size(A) is an F2008 function that returns the storage size of argument A in bits. If A is an array it returns the size of an element of A. If A is a derived type with allocatable components, the result of storage_size() is compiler-dependent.
