Naming conventions

Following rules are made for the formation of names in resulting Java programs.

• Since a Java class is generated for each FORTRAN function or subroutine, the name of the class is the name of the original function/subroutine name with `_c' attached to it. `c' stands for `class'.

  For example: a function in a FORTRAN source code named func1 will be converted to a Java class with the name func1_c.

  The FORTRAN main program is also converted into a class, but `_mc' is attached to its name to form the Java class name.

• A class variable is generated for each scalar dummy argument in order to solve the problem of argument passing. The name of the class variable is the name of the original argument with `_cv' (class variable) appended to it. For example: class variable para1_cv is generated for the argument para1.

  This is just what we have implemented, not a perfect solution. There are some non trivial subtlety here. We'll discuss more about it in section .

• `j' is inserted before each statement label in FORTRAN source code to form a Java statement lable.

  For example: label 10 will be converted to j10 in Java program.

• Other names in the Java program are identical to those in FORTRAN.
