CamFort is a multi-feature tool for improving the quality of Fortran code. Its features are primarily aimed at programming patterns found in numerical modelling code e.g., in computational science.
CamFort is free and open-source. It currently supports Fortran 66, 77, 90, and 95 language standards. Support for Fortran 2003, and 2008 is in progress.
Programming languages provide an interface for developing increasingly complex models in science. However, as computer models grow more complex, it is increasingly difficult to deliver on core requirements such as verifiability, maintainability, understandability, validity, and portability.
