f2c - FORTRAN to C

From: Alison Boeckmann Date: March 21, 1994 technical Source: phor.com
In recent postings, Larry Bauer mentioned f2c, to which Nick Holford responded: > I would also caution about the use of f2c. I have used it to create a C > version of NONMEM that ran about half as fast as the original FORTRAN > code. That was on a Silicon Graphics irix4d MIPS etc processor. Earlier this year, someone else tried f2c. When Stuart Beal heard about it, he sent this message to them: > There's no way one can verify whether FORTRAN->C code works correctly. > On first principles, I strongly recommend against this practice. > I'm not sure whether this is a violation of the license agreement, > but I am going to check, and if not, I am going to consider > modifying the license. So, one must continue to use the original FORTRAN source code and a FORTRAN compiler for NONMEM.
