A Modern Fortran-based Parser

Get the code

The parser uses a modified libfdf library. This is included in this repository as a submodule. To clone the entire project, do

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/TREX-CoE/iof08.git

Compilation

The project contains two folders (a) modified-libfdf and (b) parser.

• Compile and install the modified-libfdf using the following set of commands Console ./configure --prefix=/usr/local FC=ifort CC=icc make sudo make install make check
• In the parser folder, link the modified libfdf library with the interface Fortran file.

## Integrate parser in your code



### Features of the parser (including inheritance from libfdf)

- Include another input file for parser to read using:

` %include    global.inp`

- Include a data file for parser to read using:

` load label filename`

Here, depending upon the label, parser will provide the filename. For example,

` load basis cc-pvtz.gbs`

- Read molecular coordinates directly from the input file using 

```perl
%block molecule

• Read molecular coordinates from an external .xyz file using

%block molecule < caffeine.xyz

• Group certain keywords using the %module construct

%module DMC
    tau     =   0.04
    etrial  = -15 Ha
%endmodule

• Logical variables accept true, TRUE, T, 1, .true. as valid keywords for true optimize_wavefunction true
