This is a driver script to run one of the filter programs in
the EXTREME package which modifies source code. It should be
invoked under the name `do-xxx' to run the filter `xxx'.
The available filters xxx are:
- inscnf - Wrap %VAL invocations in CNF_PVAL calls
- crepint - Change int type to INT_BIG in C
- frepint - Change INTEGER to INTEGER * 8 in Fortran
For each of its command line arguments (files) it:
- Runs the filter xxx.
- Writes a line to the file ./xxx.log saying how many lines were
changed.
- If and only if changes were made, it writes the modified file
under the same name into the directory ./xxx.changed.
- If the filter wrote any warnings to standard error, these are
summarised to standard output.
- Checks that the input file and output file don't look different
in any unexpected ways, and writes a warning if they do.
- For Fortran files, checks that no lines have been extended
beyond 72 characters (this should not be possible, it's just
an extra precaution).
It then writes a short summary of the run, including a report of
whether any files gained new dependencies on include files.
Thus anything which the filter or this script thinks may require
human attention is written to standard output while modified
files are written to a new directory.
As part of its checking, it invokes a script called cmp-xxx on
each pair of (original, changed) files; these scripts are
crude checks that the changes made have not done anything to the
source code to change its intention other than what should have
been done. They have been written in a fairly quick and dirty
way however, and may well turn up false positives or false negatives.
