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 con‐
structs 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 speci‐
fied by a c, C, or * in column 1, and continuation lines are
specified by a nonzero, nonblank character in column 6. Nor‐
mally, a statement whose first nonblank character is not al‐
phanumeric 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 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.
-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 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
Struct knows Fortran 66 syntax, but not full Fortran 77 (alternate re‐
turns, IF...THEN...ELSE, etc.)
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.
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.
