Automated code evaluation system can be used to detect coding errors and unsound coding practices in any ANSI FORTRAN IV source code before they can cause execution-time malfunctions. System concentrates on acceptable FORTRAN code features which are likely to produce undesirable results.
Software package takes as input FORTRAN program which may contain many modules (subroutines and functions). Main parts: (1) FORTRAN front end gathers information about input program and (2) set of routines organized as diagnostic package evaluates information and prints warning messages concerning actual or potential errors.
Three software products developed during the study are reported and include: (1) FORTRAN Automatic Code Evaluation System, (2) the Specification Language System, and (3) the Array Index Validation System.
