EasyStructure

Parses C and displays a browsable tree view and flowchart of the source code to facilitate understanding. Also provides a flexible source beautifier
Easystructure is a tool to analysis C source files and display the structure of the source code in flowchart and hierarchical tree views. The tree view is a vertical display version of the Jackson block graphical methodology. Once the source has been parsed these views can be browsed/copied/printed to gain an understanding of the code.

Flowcharts are displayed with the original source. A tree node may be expanded so as to show any contained statements of various types (e.g. jump type, return type). When parsed the source may be reformatted (beautified) according to the many options. The views can be printed, copied, or displayed with the original source.

The flowchart view may be printed or copied to the clipboard in wmf format. The flowchart appearance can be customised ,e.g. block size, font size, margins.

The tree view may be printed or copied to the clipboard in wmf format (the page dimensions can be set when copying). These are in the tree's current expanded state. An option exists for each tree node to include it's associated lines of original source. This is useful for documentation purposes or where you want to include the source comments.

Main features of EasyStructure:

Easystructure will analyses/parse C source and display the structure in a browsable tree view.

The tree view contains the source code (either just code or including comments) organised by it's structure.

This view can be copied (wmf format) and printed.

A flowchart can be automatically generated from the structure tree view of all or any part of the source.

Flowcharts contain all the original source code and can be copied (wmf format) and printed.

The flowchart's font, block size and margins can be customised.

A generic XML form of the source code can be automatically generated from the structure tree view. This shows the code structure and contains all the original source.
The original source can be reformatted/beautified with structure based indentation and resetting the line breaks in long statements. Other reformatting options are:

indent braces with parent or contents

use spaces instead of tabs

set the page width with strict or nominal (long statement line breaks are inserted preferably by structure) enforcement

force branches and loops to use braces for single statements

align consecutive declaration statements.
