https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/parser-for-code-analysis/m-p/958186#M21297 I've found an extremely powerful tool for source code analysis and manipulation. One problem remains: it targets Java. The concept deserves attention, however: reading a Java program to create objects in main memory that represent the program's source code. Representing source code as objects means that e.g. a variable used in an expression can be traced back to its declaration by calling a method on its object-representation. <BR /> <BR />This object-rich representation opens the door for the smart user to write code that manipulates his programs. E.g. declaring as local a set of previously-COMMON arrays so as to allow running some subroutine in a multi-threaded way, where these now-local arrays to be passed down to inner-subroutines. This example shows a well-defined, but error-prone code manipulation if done by hand. <BR /> <BR />Now, the typical phrase : "Does anybody know ... " a similar tool for Fortran ? The following requirements seem fair enough : <BR /> <BR />The tool should be able to : <BR />1) parse <BR />2) build abstract syntax tree <BR />3) resolve references (e.g. find matching declaration for a variable use, etc.). I think this is called "build the symbol table". Dunno for sure. <BR />4) discard syntactic artifacts useless for the final user <BR />5) instantiate an object representation of the work done so far, in C++ or Java. <BR /> <BR />Any hints ?
