- Compilers@ (41)
ccache - Acts as a caching pre-processor to C/C++ compilers, which often results in a 5 to 10 times speedup in common compilations. [Open Source, GPL]
ASTREE - A static analyzer analyzes reactive, critical, real-time programs written in the C programming language and looks for runtime errors.
C Module Viewer (CMV) - A small and smart programming tool that supports software engineering under C in the subjects modularity, overview and navigation (for Windows 9x/NT/2000). By Ezer Programmings.
C to Java converter - Convert C preprocessed source to Java.
CC Shell - Allows C source files to be directly executed as scripts (using #!), speeding development and simplifying maintenance.
CCured - Source-to-source translator for C, which analyzes the program to determine the smallest number of run-time checks that must be inserted in the program to prevent all memory safety violations.
CodeSurfer - An analysis and inspection tool that lets software developers and maintainers easily understand detailed dependence relations in source code.
CodeViz - CodeViz provides the ability to generate call graphs to aid the task of understanding code. [Open Source, GPL]
The Codist - Check this site for a survey of source code comprehension tools (these show flow and/or relationships of function within the program in a graphical and/or text manner). Both free and commercial products are listed.
Compilercache - Caches compiled object files to dramaticly speed up compiles. More convenient than make, and speeds up builds (like RPM builds) that make doesn't. Obsoleted by ccache.
Crystal C/C++ Suite - A suite of C/C++ review, visualization and editing tools: Flowcharts, Tokens Panel, Comment Generator, and Auto-Formatting in real time, call/caller/file graphs.
Cscope - Cscope is a developer's tool for browsing C programming code.
Cxref - Cxref is a C source code cross referencing and documenting program for UNIX, written by Andrew M. Bishop. Cxref makes both html and latex style document.
Development Assistant for C - Supports a wide range of software development activities, from easy editing to controlling source quality, from detailed reviewing to documenting. By RistanCASE.
Exuberant Ctags - Generates an index (or tag) file of C language objects found in C source and header files that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility. [Open Source, GPL]
GNU cflow - GNU cflow analyzes a collection of C source files and prints a graph, charting control flow within the program. [Open source, GPL]
GNU GLOBAL - GNU GLOBAL is a source code tag system that works the same way across diverse environments. [Open source, GPL]
GNU Source-highlight - Source-highlight, given a source file, produces a document with syntax highlighting. [Open source, GPL]
Indent - A tool for formatting C code. [Open source, GPL]
Insure++ - An error detection tool for C/C++ that automatically finds hidden errors at the source code level.
KScope - KScope is a KDE front-end to Cscope. It provides a source-editing environment for large C projects, such as the Linux kernel. [Open source, GPL]
LCLint - Tool for statically checking C programs. [Open source, GPL]
Lint Plus - Source code analyzer, detects problems compilers cannot catch, by Cleanscape Software.
OpenGrok - OpenGrok is a fast and usable source code search and cross reference engine. It helps you search, cross-reference and navigate your source tree. It can understand various program file formats and version control histories like SCCS, RCS, CVS and Subversion. It is written in Java. [Open source]
Splint - Splint is a tool for statically checking C programs for security vulnerabilities and coding mistakes. Help build the largest human-edited directory on the web.
