  23 SUIF is roughly based on C semantics and does not directly support some
  24 Fortran features.  In particular, call-by-reference parameters occur
  25 frequently in Fortran programs and must be implemented in terms of
  26 other SUIF features.  This introduces extra complexity that makes it
  27 harder to analyze and optimize the procedures.  Fortunately this
  28 complexity can be hidden somewhat by converting the procedures to the
  29 SUIF Fortran form.  The SUIF library provides functions to translate a
  30 procedure to this Fortran form after it is read from a file and to
  31 translate it back to the original SUIF form before it is written out.
  32 Common blocks and equivalences are generally handled using
  33 sub-variables, so the library's Fortran form does not need to do
  34 anything special to deal with them.  Other more obscure Fortran
  35 features are also not handled in the Fortran form because they are
  36 less common and hard to deal with however they are represented.
