Limitations

FORD can not handle all conceivable Fortran codes as of yet. Limitations include:

• FORTRAN77 syntax. Fixed-form source is currently not compatible with FORD. Furthermore, PARAMETER and DATA statements are ignored.
• Implicit typing. FORD can not handle non-default implicit typing. While this shouldn't be too hard to implement, it is low priority since I don't really want to be support bad coding style.
• include statements. These are totally ignored and nothing in the included file will be documented.
• Files which would be compiled after having been preprocesses will be run through gfortran's preprocessor prior to extracting the documentation. While this means that the final API will be reflected in the documentation, it may be less useful for developers who might like to know what particular macros are for.
