Question 18.1
Q:
I need
some C development tools.
A:
Here is a crude list of some which are available.
- a C cross-reference
generator
-
cflow,
cxref,
calls,
cscope,
xscope,
or ixfw
- a C beautifier/pretty-printer
-
cb, indent,
GNU indent,
or
vgrind
- a revision control
or
configuration management
tool
- CVS,
RCS,
or
SCCS
- a C source obfuscator
(shrouder)
- obfus, shroud,
or
opqcp
- a ``make'' dependency generator
- makedepend,
or try
cc -M or cpp -M
- tools to compute code metrics
- ccount, Metre, lcount, or
csize;
there is also a package sold by McCabe and Associates
- a C lines-of-source counter
- this can be done very crudely with the standard Unix utility wc,
and somewhat better with
grep -c ";"

(cdecl)
- check volume 14 of
comp.sources.unix
