There are many potential benefiti to be gained from the effective we of graphical represen- tatiom of source code. To be of practical we, how- ever, ruch graphical representations mwt be auto- matically generated and supported in aoftware. There are e&tiny tools that provide this functionality, but many are source language specific. That is, they can only be wed with source code written in, say, Ada. A source language independent tool that auto- matically generates control structure diagrams from source code is the authors' first step towarda a suite of language independent code visualization and soft- ware engineering tools. The graphical representation generator worb in two phases: the markup phase and the rendering phase. During the markup phase, a parser for a given source language is used to embed generic markup tags in the source tezt. In the render- ing phase, the embedded tags provide all the needed information for producing the control structure dia- gram. |
