I am looking for information and or pointers on translators from
Fortran to C. I know there are some out there. Your information
will be greatly appreciated, specially if you've used any of them.
Please mail directly to me and thanks in advance,

I know of a FORTRAN->LISP translator which was developed at MIT to run the IMSL package under Macsyma. Then there is Kyoto Common Lisp, which uses a LISP->C translator. Hence FORTRAN->LISP->C. -gjc

An outfit called: Cobalt Blue 2940 Union, Suite C San Jose, CA 95124 (408)723-0474 FAX: (408)377-7648 Sells a Fortran to C and Fortran to C++ (!) converter. I don't know anything about the product other than I called the phone number, spoke with a person, and was sent their info. Unfortunately, the info fails to mention whether the product is available for VMS or Ultrix. MSDOS and 386 Unix version are mentioned, but the thing is shipped with source. Good Luck! -w

Does anybody know of a Fortran to C translator that has successfully been used to translate a significant body of code? If anyone does not of such a beast, I'd greatly appreciate an email response since I don't regularly read this newsgroup. Thank you in advance, daniel daniel@cis.ucsc.edu

This is just a hint. There is currently Fortran-to-C conversion package being developed by the people that manage the NETLIB. I found the following entry in the NETLIB general index: * notes on the Fortran-to-C converter (netlib@research.att.com only) send index for f2c Does anyone know what "f2c" is about?

I agree with me | What follows is a copy of email I sent to Daniel Edelson: I have an acquaintance of many years that translated a very large finite element program and element library from fortran to C, approximately 100,000 fortan source lines, successfully. He used FOR_C, running on DOS systems. The translated code runs on all sorts of systems, microVaxes included. The address and phone I have for the publisher of FOR_C is: Cobalt Blue 2940 Union Ave Suite C San Jose, Ca. 95124 Tel. (408) 723-0474 Fax. (408) 377-7648 The address and phone of a distributor (less expensive, mail order source) The Programmer's Connection 7249 Whipple Ave NW North Canton, OH 44720-7137 Tel. (800) 336-1166 Fax. (216) 494-5260 The price from the Programmer's Connection, including surface UPS shipping is $442 with binary runtime, ($575 list). $673 with runtime sources, ($875 list). The above info. is from the Winter 1990 catalog, which I just recieved, so should be current. The Cobalt Blue people will send you a demo disk for about $10. The demo is a crippled version that will convert a subroutine from fortran to c as long as the input is 1k char or less. If you have any good or bad experiences to share along the way, please keep me informed. I have a year old demo that generated pretty good code. One additional note. I recently purchased a very nice package of fortran clean up utilities from: Quibus Enterprises, 106 N. Draper Ave., Champaign, IL 61821, Phone (217) 356-8876, for about $139. They work very well, and are very quick. So far as I can tell, they are bug free. Ralph Carpenter Tektronix, Inc. Beaverton, OR.

I know that a Pascal to C translator exists but does anybody know of a Fortran to C translator? Although we don't program in fortran there are some numerical algorithms written in fortran we'd like translated to C. Also fortran handles complex arithmetic so a translator smart enough to do that would also be useful. If anybody knows of any site which holds sources (in C!) or even a commercial package I would be grateful for the info. Thanks in advance, robert P.S. please note that we are able to do anon ftp.

Since there have been several requests for a Fortran to C translator in the past week, I'm reposting the announcement about f2c. The short answer is you can get f2c by anonymous-ftp from research.att.com in directory dist/f2c. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Source for f2c, a Fortran 77 to C translator jointly developed by folks from Bell Labs, Bellcore, and Carnegie Mellon, is now freely available. F2c was derived from the original UNIX operating system's f77(1), and the generated C follows f77's calling conventions; on some machines, the resulting object files are interchangeable with (and behave indistinguishably from) objects compiled by f77. The main "advantage" of f2c is that it converts ANSI standard Fortran 77 into C without manual intervention, at least when invoked by a suitable script or makefile (that may need to exercise an f2c option to ensure that COMMON blocks are defined just once). The main "problems" are that f2c does no code restructuring (e.g., gotos are preserved) and that Fortran I/O gets converted into a bunch of calls; thus the translated C code doesn't look too pretty, and in general one would need to maintain the Fortran rather than its translation into C. [F2c is not meant to displace the services of commercial vendors whose business is to convert Fortran into maintainable C.] There is a plethora of options, many of which exist to support different compilation environments for the translated C (e.g., ANSI C or C++ compatability, different type sizes, separate files for COMMON blocks to appease "smart" linkers). So far f2c (and f2c-generated source) has compiled successfully on many machines: Sun, Vax, IBMRT, Apollo, SGI, MIPS, and Cray to name a few. F2c has been under test by the net community for over a year and has been verified on the NBS tests, several large math libraries, floating point tests, even code for laying cable on the ocean floor! To find out about f2c, send the following E-mail message to netlib (netlib@research.att.com or research!netlib): send index from f2c Your message will be answered automatically (by a program -- see CACM vol. 30 #5 (May, 1987), pp. 403-407). You will receive a reply explaining how to automatically acquire f2c source (about 600K), f2c library source (130K), and supporting info (man page, etc). Or you can anonymous-FTP to research.att.com and look in directory dist/f2c at these files: all.Z -- 250K compressed shar file for f2c f2c.ps.Z -- 24 page tech report describing f2c index -- general info about files libf77.Z, libi77.Z -- compressed shar files for libraries ****************************** DISCLAIMER ****************************** Careful!
