Provide explicit interfaces for external functions passed as arguments
Some routines such as ?GEES, get functions as arguments. However, these arguments are declared just like external, so compilers can not actually check that passed arguments has proper types. It would be nice, if not only documentation will specify proper definition of such functions.
Actually, it is needed for generating safe Fortran 90 interfaces from the source code.
Full list of affected subroutines:
cgees
cgeesx
cgges3

dgees

sgees

zgees

zggesx
I agree. It would be most useful if someone can provide an example demonstrating how they would do this in a clean way. Maybe through a PR. The passing of "function as argument" is limited in use in LAPACK. If I am being correct, this only appears in the five Schur reordering subroutines (GEES, GEESX, GGES, GGES3, GGESX).
