OFC - Open Fortran Compiler

Overview

Currently OFC is a FORTRAN front-end capable of parsing and performing semantic analysis on Fortran. We're targeting legacy FORTRAN first, and can currently parse and semantically analyse most F77 and earlier, providing syntax and semantic warnings and errors.

Goals

1. Produce a FORTRAN static code analysis tool.
2. Produce a FORTRAN modernizer which can reprint legacy FORTRAN as F90 where possible.
3. Produce an alternative FORTRAN front-end for open-source compilers.

Features

• Parse, semantically analyse and re-print ALL NIST F77 tests.
• Safe translation from F77 to F90 syntax where possible.

Usage

Cloning

It's recommended that you clone ofc recursively, as it has a submodule:

git clone https://github.com/CodethinkLabs/ofc.git --recurse-submodules

For git 2.12 or earlier use --recursive instead

Installation

To install ofc, do:

make install

Note that the ofc binary can be invoked locally without an install, and the tests will run using the locally built binary.

Execution

To invoke ofc currently, simply run it over a fortran file:

ofc tests/programs/nist/FM001.FOR

The compiler options will be automatically detected from the file name, but this can be overridden using commandline flags which are printed by invoking ofc with no source file.

To print the parse and semantic trees, use the --parse-tree and --sema-tree flags.

Testing

Dependencies

Test Suite: gfortran valgrind

Static Code Analysis: cppcheck clang, scanbuild

Test Suite

We run a test suite including the NIST F77 tests using:

make test

To make a html report (tests/out/report.html) use:

make test-report

The full report takes a long time to build as it runs valgrind over both the debug and optimized binaries. To make a quick report which does every step except valgrind, use:

make test-report-lite

Note: Tests run from the build directory will use the built ofc rather than the installed one.

CPPCheck

We run cppcheck over the tree using:

make cppcheck

scanbuild

We run scanbuild over the tree using:

make scan-build

Other

We also have a rule to compile all files at once to produce more warnings using:

make scan
