[Doxygen-users] case-sensitive names in Fortran

[Jörg S. <joe...@tu...>]

Hi,

using Doxygen already for a couple of years, I happily acknowledge the steadily improving Fortran support. Great thanks to Dimitri and all other contributors!

Yet, I find difficult to arrange with the imperative conversion of names to lower case. I see the motivation that Fortran is a case insensitive language. Hence, the conversion is a reasonable default. However, it is common practice even in Fortran projects to use the case for better readability and transporting some meta-information. For example, constants could be written in upper-case, procedures and types (classes) in camel-case and ordinary variables in lower cases. While we enforce these conventions in our style guide, they are debilitated by the conversion to all lower-case. 

Given these observations, I wonder if there isn’t a switch which recovers a case-sensitive behavior for Fortran, similar to C or C++?
If not, I am curious if the development of such a feature planed for a future release.  


Best regards,
Jörg
