parse C source flow to extract program tree

[Crooter]

Hello colleagues,

Could anybody tell me if there are existing open-source solutions to
extract the program tree using a program source code? I'm aware that
GCC has program flow information and tree respectively for
optimization, but I'm looking for something less complicated.
An ideal case would be a small program based on a parser with YACC
compatible grammar which extracts the program flow tree.

Best regards,
C

Not really OT here (guess it'd be topical in comp.unix.programmer), but try
looking for cflow.

Bye, Jojo

Thanks a lot, Jojo, it looks like the most suitable solution.

Thank you, the tools you mentioned are quite good for human analysis
of source code (graphical representation especially), but I was
looking for something more 'internal' or intermediate. Still the ideas
in the tools can be interesting.

To be honest, I'm surprised with the speed you answered. I wish I
could help anybody so fast.

Please do not top-post. Your answer belongs after (or intermixed
with) the quoted material to which you reply, after snipping all
irrelevant material. I fixed this one. See the following links:
