Partial evaluation is an optimization technique traditionally used in compilation. We have adapted this technique to the understanding of scientific application programs during their maintenance. We have implemented a tool that analyzes Fortran 90 application programs and performs an interprocedural pointer analysis. This paper presents a dynamic semantics of Fortran 90 and manually derives a partial evaluator from this semantics. The tool implementing the specifications is also detailed. The partial evaluator has been implemented in a generic programming environment and a graphical interface has been developed to visualize the information computed during the partial evaluation (values of variables, already analyzed procedures, scope of variables, removed statements, etc.).
