anyone knows something like cscope for fortran. it becomes really
helpful when reading sources scattered across multiple files. anything
which can do indexing of fortran code.

thanks in advanced.

You might want to try understand for fortran( http://scitools.com/ ).
It is by no means perfect, but it can do a decent job. I have found it
to crash on occasion and get mildly by include statements, but
its the best tool I have been able to find.

Photran ( http://photran.org ) can do simple stuff as far as code
analysis is concerned and is a pretty good development environment.

thanks for your reply,
but then i think emacs tags also do a nice job. i can from the
fuction i can directly jump to defination etc. only thing is, cscope
for C does it in better way.

as far as that eclipse (photran) this is there, i will have to get used
to new editor all togather ( and i don't want to leave emacs ;)

anyways thanks again for the advice.

There are links to many code analysis tools for Fortran, some free and
some commercial, at the Open Directory at

The Exuberant CTAGS utility lists Fortran as one of the
supported languages:

http://ctags.sourceforge.net/languages.html

FWIW the Zeus editor offers seamless integrating with
Exuberant CTAGS, whcih mean in theory Zeus should be
able to do Fortran class browsing:

and CTAGS database searching:

Note: Zeus is shareware and only runs on Windows (45 free trial).
