Begin3 Title: f2c-stabs - f2c support for gdb via emacs Version: 1.3 Entered-date: 20Jan97 Description: f2c does name mangling, auto array referencing, pointer passing, and parameter realization when compiling Fortran code to C code. This makes debugging f2c code from within gdb very difficult. This package, when used in conjunction with running gdb from within emacs, solves alot of this problem. It allows emacs to take fortran expressions, convert them to the f2c mangled version, and pass them to gdb for evaluation. For example, if one has: REAL FOO(2:3,1:2) common /BAR_NONE/ FOO one can do C-cC-v foo(3,2) in emacs to get the value of FOO(3,2). Emacs will automatically translate this to bar_none__.foo[4], and pass it to gdb for evaluation. This package include the above emacs elisp code, a fortran parser, and other miscellaneous utilities. With additional work, it would be suitable as a workaround for any language/debugger combination where the debugger doesn't quite understand the language. NEW - Fully automatic usage!!!!
