FF08FixedFormForEver

FF08FixedFormForEver is a command line tool for rendering Fortran 2008 source in a number of horrible ways.

One day, a practical use for this tool may be found.

The tool itself is written in Fortran 2003. A zip archive of the latest source release (revision 3189 from 2024-08-12), available under an Apache 2.0 licence, can be found at www.megms.com.au/download/FF08FixedFormForEver.zip.

How to use

The command line has the following syntax:

FF08FixedFormForEver [options] source-file-specs...

Command line options:

-? or --help
Display command line and program usage help, then exit.
--version
Display program version information, then exit.
--list[:] file
Specify a list file - each record from the given file will be added (in addition to any source file specifications provided on the command line) to the list of source file specifications for the prevailing set (as indicated by --left and --right) to be processed. May be specified multiple times.
--free
Emits a compact free form variant instead,
--console-free
Reads free form input source from the console, after any other files. May not be used with a file specification of - or the --console-fixed option.
--console-fixed
Reads fixed form input source from the console, after any other files. May not be used with a file specification of - or the --console-free option.
@response-file
Nominates a response file with additional arguments and options. Each argument or option in a response file place should be in its own record. Options and arguments in response files are expanded as they are encountered into the total set of options and arguments for the program. Multiple response files may be specified, and response files may reference other response files, but a response file reference may not be recursive.

source-file-specs is a list of the names of the Fortran source files to parse.

A source-file-spec of - directs that source file specifications will also be read from the console, one file per record. A line that is zero length or all blanks terminates the input. - may only be specified once on the command line. This feature is useful with operating system shell provided pipes between programs.

Source files with an extension (part of the filename following the last dot) of for or f are taken to be fixed source form files. Source files with an extension of f90, f95, f03 or f08 are taken to be free source form. Other extensions result in an error. The comparison with the file extension is not case sensitive.

The resulting source code is written to the console.

Examples

Applying the tool to the source code for its own main program:

FF08FixedFormForEver FF08FixedFormForEver.f90

Beautiful.

Building from source

The source code should be compilable by a Fortran 2003 compiler.

Intel Visual Fortran 15.0 was the compiler used for development. With that compiler, the /standard-semantics switch (or its equivalent on non-Windows platforms) is required.

The file compile-order.txt in the source archive specifies the order in which the included source files may be compiled.

Note that gfortran current trunk (at the time of writing r238060) cannot be used due to PR 44265, PR 71796 and PR 71807.
