PTP/Photran/WishList
Requests from Users
- Fortran source code formatting - https://bugs.eclipse.org/303347
- Add "Correct indentation (adopt from emacs?)"
- Run enhancements (I/O redirection, launching shell scripts) - https://bugs.eclipse.org/118966
- Photran-specific "convert tabs to spaces" option - https://bugs.eclipse.org/250819
- Intel language extensions - https://bugs.eclipse.org/304269
- Spell checking - https://bugs.eclipse.org/313688
- Support STRUCTURE and RECORD (DEC extensions) https://bugs.eclipse.org/249539
- Support vertical limiter also for free-form Fortran (e.g., column 132 in gfortran by default)
- Highlight unused variables (similar to Java)
- Support content assist for members of derived types
- Extend "Add ONLY clause to USE statement" refactoring to work with all modules in a source code selection, not just only a single highlighted module. While refactoring module imports, preserve formatting (i.e., case of operators' and imported functions' names)
- Add a support for some type of a documentation, e.g. generate a commented out list of all local variables so they can be easily annotated.
