About:
Findent is a command-line utility designed to format and beautify Fortran source code according to various style guidelines. It also has the capability to analyze source files and generate dependency information, such as Makefile rules, by tracking module usage. This helps developers maintain clean, readable codebases and manage complex build systems efficiently.
|
Key Features:
- Supports multiple Fortran standards (F77, F90, F95, F2003, F2008)
- Generates dependency information for build systems
- Highly configurable indentation rules
- Can convert legacy code to modern Fortran style
|
Use Cases:
- Standardizing code style across a legacy Fortran project
- Automating the generation of Makefile dependencies
- Refactoring old Fortran 77 code to modern free-form format
|
Alternatives:
-
fprettify
– A Python-based formatter that is also popular for modern Fortran, but Findent is a standalone binary with legacy support.
-
Emacs f90-mode
– Provides formatting within the editor, whereas Findent is a CLI tool suitable for CI/CD pipelines.
