Fails to identify comments in Fortran free format

Code analysis of my Fortran shows 0 comments while in reality there are some, which have a lower-case c in column 1.

Hi Glenn,

I can open a bug ticket for this.

I haven't used Fortran in well, decades, so my memory is hazy. I thought that 'c' comments only worked in fixed format, but obviously I'm mistaken. Can you point me to a reference that explains this?

If you really want to earn bonus points, here is the source code for the Fortran free-format parser, written as a Ragel state machine....

Your source code link returns 404 - no such project. Incidentally my code is probably really fixed format anyhow, misidentified as free format for some reason (perhaps because it is in lowercase).

The second_f code was written according to Fortran 77 (SGI) which is described in http://laplace.physics.ubc.ca/Doc/sgi/f77ref/ and allows lowercase characters (the document does not seem to mention that that is an SGI extension).
