stfc / fparser

This project maintains and develops a Fortran parser called fparser2 written purely in Python which supports Fortran 2003 and some Fortran 2008. A legacy parser fparser1 is also available but is not supported. The parsers were originally part of the f2py project by Pearu Peterson.

Add support for the open convert specifier (which is not part of the standard) #426

Closed sergisiso closed 8 months ago

sergisiso commented 1 year ago

fparser fails to parse:

       open(unit       = MyUnit,       &
            file       = trim(filename), &
            form       = 'UNFORMATTED',  &
            access     = 'SEQUENTIAL',   &
            action     = 'WRITE',        &
            convert    = 'BIG_ENDIAN',   &
            iostat     = E_IO)

I believe this is because the "convert" is not part of the Fortran standard but it is supported by gfortran, nvfortran and ifort https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/CONVERT-specifier.html

WaveWatchIII also uses this and I've come to the same conclusion as @sergisiso - it's a common extension to the standard. Our default tactic is to support such things.
