STRUCT(1)

NAME
struct - structure Fortran programs

SYNOPSIS
struct [ option ] ... file

DESCRIPTION

Struct translates the Fortran program specified by file (standard input default) into a Ratfor program. Wherever possible, Ratfor control constructs replace the original Fortran. Statement numbers appear only where still necessary. Cosmetic changes are made, including changing Hollerith strings into quoted strings and relational operators into symbols (.e.g. ".GT." into ">"). The output is appropriately indented.

The following options may occur in any order.

-s  Input is accepted in standard format, i.e. comments are specified by a c, C, or * in column 1, and continuation lines are specified by a nonzero, nonblank character in column 6. Normally input is in the form accepted by f77(1)

-i  Do not turn computed goto statements into switches. (Ratfor does not turn switches back into computed goto statements.)

-a  Turn sequences of else ifs into a non-Ratfor switch of the form

    switch
    	{	case pred1: code
    		case pred2: code
    		case pred3: code
    		default: code
    	}

    The case predicates are tested in order; the code appropriate to only one case is executed. This generalized form of switch statement does not occur in Ratfor.

-b  Generate goto's instead of multilevel break statements.

-n  Generate goto's instead of multilevel next statements.

-tn Make the nonzero integer n the lowest valued label in the output program (default 10).

-cn Increment successive labels in the output program by the nonzero integer n (default 1).

-en If n is 0 (default), place code within a loop only if it can lead to an iteration of the loop. If n is nonzero, admit a small code segments to a loop if otherwise the loop would have exits to several places including the segment, and the segment can be reached only from the loop. `Small' is close to, but not equal to, the number of statements in the code segment. Values of n under 10 are suggested.

BUGS
Struct knows Fortran 66 syntax, but not full Fortran 77.
If an input Fortran program contains identifiers which are reserved words in Ratfor, the structured version of the program will not be a valid Ratfor program.
The labels generated cannot go above 32767.
If you get a goto without a target, try -e .
