FORTRAN and the Gnat Programming System (GPS)
|
|
|
| Hi!
Who has experience with the combination of the Gnat Programming System
and FORTRAN?
I find that IDE very attractive. For ADA the thing shows just what I
want: basic interaction with the necessary tools:
editor, compiler and debugger, and not much more.
But installation of all the fortran-specific things seems terribly
complicated.
I run g95 under MinGW on my Win-XP box.
Which of you has personal experience with GPS and can give me some
good tips, e.g.
on how to let the editor-component of GPS jump to the first compile-
error?
Or how to interface gdb for fortran?
Regards,
Arjan

Yep, but I don't have anything to say on the question.

News has seemed slow lately in c.l.f.
I was looking at 04-007.pdf tonight. I misunderstood host association for
the nth time running. I ended up just reading the glossary, which is quite
good reading, if you're not too interested in a theme. I like how it
formulates a datum:
datum : A single quantity that may have any of the set of values specified
for its type.
data : Plural of datum.
I always refer to data in the plural, so no sweat there. I also noticed
this:
void : A C type comprising an empty set of values; defined in 6.2.5 of the C
International Standard. 34
There is nothing analogous in Fortran.
I'd been trying to think of how to use an external, void C function, calling
from fortran, and had not been making progress. I think the problem has
been that I've been trying to think of what the analogous program in fortran
would look like. Well, there can't be one.
Is there honestly an Arjan and another Arjen in c.l.f. or simply alternate
spellings? BTW, isn't that a Robinson Crusoe joke?

| Hi Gerry,
Yes, I made a Robinson Crusoe joke.
In my country, Arjen, Arjan, Arian, Adriaan, Arijjan (!) and Arien
(with a " on the e) are rather common names. Add to this ingredient
the fact that we dutch scientists have a huge heritage in Fortran-
code, and you can understand the origin
of your observation. Once, when I started to work as a postdoc at a
local university, they gave me an e-mail address
Arjan02.vanDijk@.....nl, since I was the second employee with the same
combination of first- and sirname!
By the way, have you ever been president of the US of A?...
Concerning the philosophical transaction about C and Fortran:
I am so glad that I only have to work with the handful of computer
languages that I use, and C isn't one of them!
Best regards,
Arjan
ps. Any remote chance that you ever used GPS (in the sense meant in
this discussion) and want to share your experience?

C functions with void return types are, in Fortran, subroutines.
