Raw form of AST

[Kenneth C. Hall]

Dear colleague,

I am interested in doing some symbolic manipulation of the Abstract 
Syntax Tree (AST) that is the result of the gfortran front end.  
gfortran has a compiler option that will write the AST to a file, but 
it is in a pretty print form.  I would like the unadulterated AST.  Is 
there a relatively simple way to get this from the gfortran compiler, 
and if so, is there a specification document for the form of the AST?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Kenneth
