C/C++ Reverse Engineering tool

[Mahmoud M'HIRI]

Salem,

I'm looking for a tool to reverse engineer a long code source written in the C language. Is there something OS to recommend ?

Thanks a lot

I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for. Why would want to
reverse engineer something for which you have the source code? I mean,
there is really nothing to reverse here.

application, Classes, structs, functions, global variables,.. call relation between functions,.. (a visual documentation tool).

I just found this tool which I'm testing, it looks great except he is under windows and non-OS (20 days trial):

Thanks for reactions

People usually try to reverse engineer a binary code or a chip to
figure out how it was produced and, ultimately, providing a process
which does generate it. For programming, that would typically be the
generation of a C code from a binary.

Therefore, what you are proposing to do is _not_ reverse engineering.
I'm sure there are lots of code viewers on the web to give you a nice
representation of a large C++ programme. Actually, even gedit can be
quite useful for this.

objdump -d ton_application
ça donne le code assembleur
et ça marche très bien

Hi,
I think that mahmoud is looking after a clear code.
Some programmer write their code with unlogical method.
They try to make their code as harrd as possible to be understood by
an other programmer.
Some time also the code becom so long that it become difficult to a
new programmer to understand what the others engeneer are writing or
thinking.
So we need to mke the class diagramm or other classs
Boumel can help mahmoud i used it for a php code

Thanks to all of you.

I agree totally with you Imed, the accurate definition of Reverse Engineering of a system is to reveal his functions from an initial black box as in industrial or military applications, and in computer software, the source code from a compiled data.

But when the code is written to be misunderstood, we can consider as compiled and require reverse engineering ;)

I'm testing BOUML, thanks for the hint.

Have a nice afternoon

Salem

You can also use the software "Doxigen" to automaticaly generate source code documantation.

I didn't try it but I saw an Object-Oriented documentation generated using this tool. It seems to be efficient.

 

Best,

Bilel.

 

[Mahmoud M'HIRI]

Know it, but it supposes that the developer has written enough comments when coding, otherwise, it's up to you to fill docs..

[Mohamed IKBEL]

Doxigen -> Doxygen (very good ! even export to LateX)
JavaDoc (only Java)
