Analyzing the code

If you are working on source code that you didn't write, the purpose of various constructs may not be clear. The Development System provides a number of tools to help make sense out of the source code. In this section, we will use the following tools to analyze the testcase.c source code:

cb

a tool to format C source code

cscope

a tool to examine functions contained with a program

lint

a tool to identify code that may not pass through the compiler without an error message or that may be coded using questionable coding practices

cflow

a tool to identify the nesting levels of functions within a program

cxref

a tool to create a cross reference of functions and symbols used within a program
