I am looking for some C code analysis tools that will allow users to more
easily understand a C program's structure and flow.
I have looked at the standard UNIX tool, cflow, and it does not completely
meet my needs. I would like to find some kind of graphical front end to
cflow that would run in X-Windows and show a tree structure of the function
calls in a C program.
Another tool that I have used is C-Scope from AT&T. This tool allows the
user to find out things like which functions call which other functions.
This allows one to check the flow of a C program rather quickly, however,
its limitation is that it does not show more than one level of function
calls at a time. The user must step through each level one by one to get
down to the lowest level functions. I am looking for either an extension
to C-Scope or something similar that allows a user to browse the full tree
of function calls more easily.
Finally, if there are any other C code analysis tools that anyone has found
useful, please let me know.
