Static Architecture Recovery

Recover the architecture based on static code analysis done by the fparser tool. The tool can currently recognize calls and data flow based on global variables, e.g., common blocks in Fortran.

Required

Description

-i

–input

yes

Input directory

-o

–output

yes

Output directory to store graphics and statistics

-M

–component-maps

Component, file and function map files

-E

–experiment-name

Name of the experiment

-H

–hostname

Hostname to be used in CSV reconstruction

-g

–input-mode

Input mode to be used for static analysis Possible Values: [CALL, DATAFLOW, BOTH]

-a

–missing-functions

Output file for the list of functions without an associated file

-n

–missing-mappings-file

Output file for the list of files with a missing mapping in the mapping file.

-m

–module-modes

Module converter strategies (at lease one of): module-mode, file-mode, map-mode

-sc

–separation-character

Separation character for CSV files, default is comma (,)

-l

–source-label

Set source label for the read data

The tool reads a list of operation calls, e.g., in Fortran, one subroutine calling another one, and a data access list from CSV files.

These files are generated by the fparser-based tool that can be found in: https://cau-git.rz.uni-kiel.de/ifi-ag-se/oceandsl/esm-coupling-analysis

The CSV files should use , as value separator. However, in case they deviate as other tools to generate operation calls and dataflow are used, the option allow to set a different character for operation calls -cs, dataflows -ds, and names -ns from the function names CSV.

Call Input File

  • source-path or component identifier

  • source-module

  • caller operation

  • target-path or component identifier

  • target-module

  • callee operation (the called operation)

Note Dataflow is currently under revision and may not work as intended

Dataflow Input File

  • module or component identifyer

  • operation accessing the data or writing to the data

  • direction read or write or both

  • shared-data name of the data storage

Function Names File

You can use multiple function names files.

  • component or module name

  • function name

These maps are used to rewrite the component identifiers in a component call in case these are set to the empty string “”.
