NAME
struct - structure Fortran programs
SYNTAX
struct [ option ] ... file
DESCRIPTION
_S_t_r_u_c_t translates the Fortran program specified by _f_i_l_e
(standard input default) into a Ratfor program. Wherever
possible, Ratfor control constructs replace the original
Fortran. Statement numbers appear only where still neces-
sary. Cosmetic changes are made, including changing Holler-
ith 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 con-
tinuation lines are specified by a nonzero, nonblank
character in column 6. Normally, a statement whose
first nonblank character is not alphanumeric is treated
as a continuation.
-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 gen-
eralized 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.
-e_n 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 code segments with fewer than _n

statements 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.

BUGS
_S_t_r_u_c_t knows Fortran 66 syntax, but not full Fortran77
(alternate returns, IF...THEN...ELSE, etc.)
If an input Fortran program contains identifiers which are
reserved words in Ratfor, the structured version of the pro-
gram will not be a valid Ratfor program.
Extended range DO's generate cryptic errors.
Columns 73-80 are not special even when -s is in effect.
Will not generate Ratfor FOR statements.
Has been known to give core images on large files. Making
them smaller helps.
Long computed goto statements are sometimes transformed
improperly into switches.
