  2. Title:          f2c-stabs - f2c support for gdb via emacs
  3. Version:        0.9 Alpha (first release)
  4. Entered-date:   31MAR96
  5. Description:    f2c does name mangling, auto array referencing,
  6.                 pointer passing, and parameter realization when
  7.                 compiling Fortran code to C code.  This makes
  8.                 debugging f2c code from within gdb very difficult.
  9.                 This package, when used in conjunction with running
  10.                 gdb from within emacs, solves alot of this problem.
  11.                 It allows emacs to take fortran expressions, convert
  12.                 them to the f2c mangled version, and pass them to gdb
  13.                 for evaluation.  For example, if one has:
  14.  
  15.                 REAL FOO(2:3,1:2)
  16.                 common /BAR_NONE/ FOO
  17.  
  18.                 one can do C-cC-v FOO(3,2) in emacs to get the value
  19.                 of FOO(3,2).  Emacs will automatically translate this
  20.                 to bar_none__.foo[4], and pass it to gdb for
  21.                 evaluation.
  22.  
  23.                 This package include the above emacs elisp code, a
  24.                 fortran parser, and other miscellaneous utilities.
  25.  
  26.                 With additional work, it would be suitable as a
  27.                 workaround for any language/debugger combination where
  28.                 the debugger doesn't quite understand the language.
