Are there any quality control systems for fortran as there are with java? i used valgrind intensively to ensure i have no memory errors, is there more out there, preferably as freeware?
what are your experiences?

A:
I'm not sure what you mean under "memory errors" (array out of bounds? For that there is usually a compiler switch).
Understand for Fortran maybe, if I understood your meaning. Not free, though.

seems like it goes into the direction of what i want. is there any kind of frequent error detection there? What experiences do you have with it?

@tarrasch - "frequent error detection" ? Uuh, sorry, you lost me. Could you give an example of what kind of errors are you trying to "detect" ? Compiler, runtime, array out of bounds, type mismatch, ... ?

@idigas sorry to confuse you (: what i am particularly looking for is called "coding rules" in sonar. it basically looks for errors that commonly occur when coding via a xml template and gives hints on how to improve performance/bugfixes. the thing is understand is pretty awesome, but it's also pretty expensive. isnt there some kind of cheaper alternative?

@tarrasch - Well, apart from Photran (http://www.eclipse.org/photran/) which has some nice options, I really couldn't tell. The thing is, I don't use these kinda tools much, so I'm not familiar with what's in the market. Leave the question open for a while, someone is bound to know some more.
