Re: [photran] Refactoring with modules
|
Hi Jeff,
since I don't have a technical background, please excuse and let me know
if any of the following in imprecise.
To be very specific, I am using the LAPACK/ BLAS that come with the
Intel Fortan Compiler / its MKL. So I have the source code, .mod, and .a
files. The .mod I include in compilation, the .a in linking, all works
fine, apart from the indexer, which of course can't locate the module. I
thought that could be easily solved by adding the location of the source
files (or even more specific, to the module source code containing only
the F95 interfaces). I had the (maybe naive) impression that LAPACK
/BLAS and other libraries in the public domain are still widely employed
and usually wouldn't reside in the current workspace?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Daniel

A couple things come to mind.
First, Photran cannot read .mod files; it has to have source code for
the module to be able to analyze it. The format of a .mod file varies
from compiler to compiler.
As for why the analysis/refactoring components work exclusively with
files in your workspace, it's mostly implementation detail. Eclipse
treats files in your workspace differently than files elsewhere on the
file system. Photran has to be notified of changes to files, it has to
schedule background updates so that they avoid concurrent
modifications, etc... and all of this is trickier with files located
outside the workspace. We've avoided doing this so far because there
didn't seem to be much demand.
Back to the first point... for the module you're talking about, what
do you have available? A .mod file? A header (.h) file? Full source
code?
Jeff
