Title:          f2c-stabs - f2c support for gdb via emacs
Version:        1.3
Entered-date:   20Jan97
Description:    f2c does name mangling, auto array referencing,
                pointer passing, and parameter realization when
                compiling Fortran code to C code.  This makes
                debugging f2c code from within gdb very difficult.
                This package, when used in conjunction with running
                gdb from within emacs, solves alot of this problem.
                It allows emacs to take fortran expressions, convert
                them to the f2c mangled version, and pass them to gdb
                for evaluation.  For example, if one has:

                REAL FOO(2:3,1:2)
                common /BAR_NONE/ FOO

                one can do C-cC-v foo(3,2) in emacs to get the value
                of FOO(3,2).  Emacs will automatically translate this
                to bar_none__.foo[4], and pass it to gdb for
                evaluation.

                This package include the above emacs elisp code, a
                fortran parser, and other miscellaneous utilities.

                With additional work, it would be suitable as a
                workaround for any language/debugger combination where
                the debugger doesn't quite understand the language.

                NEW - Fully automatic usage!!!!  Just requires emacs,
                gawk, and bash!!!!
