- eexxttcceennttrryy is used to extract C functions for which FORTRAN-callable
- interface routines (wrappers) are to be generated by the program
- mmkkff22cc(1). eexxttcceennttrryy accepts as input any C file (_i_n_f_i_l_e), and outputs
- (to _o_u_t_f_i_l_e) only those portions which are surrounded by the special
- comments /* _C_E_N_T_R_Y * and /* _E_N_D_C_E_N_T_R_Y */.
-
- The first step in generating a FORTRAN-to-C interface routine is to
- surround only those C functions for which entry points are to be
- generated by these special comments and to run the file through
- eexxttcceennttrryy. The FORTRAN-to-C interface generator program, mmkkff22cc, can
- then be invoked on the resultant file to generate the assembly
- language wrapper. This is necessary because mmkkff22cc understands only a
- limited subset of the C grammar, and cannot parse such constructs as
- external declarations, typedefs, and C-preprocessor directives.
