Fortran equation parser

4 Apr 2022 9:12 #28866

The idea of an equation parser is intended for applications where a set of mathematical Fortran-style expressions is specified at runtime and is then simply evaluated for a large number of variable values. Often done by compiling the set of function strings into byte code, which is interpreted efficiently for the various variable values e.g. user enters equations as text at runtime rather than hard code these for ease of use by non-programmers (and programmers). Just wondered if Silverfrost has considered incorporating an equation parser into FTN95? I know there are some routines around but it would be invaluable for some users and programmers to have access to such a facility...the ones I've tried have varying degrees of success!

Without fully understanding what it means, it is safe to say that we have not considered implementing an 'equation parser'.

Our current activity is mainly focused on:

  1. fixing any residual bugs,
  2. implementing additional and useful features of the 200x Fortran standard and
  3. making ClearWin+, SDBG64 and Plato easier to use.
