  • codequery

    A code-understanding, code-browsing or code-search tool. This is a tool to index, then query or search C, C++, Java, Python, Ruby, Go and Javascript source code. It builds upon the databases of cscope and ctags, and provides a nice GUI tool.

    • An Oldie but a Goldie.

    Related "CodeQuery"(https://github.com/ruben2020/codequery) which uses both cscope and ctags databases (i use both for C/C++ code from within vim) and provides a GUI frontend.

    Combine with "Doxygen" and "GNU cflow" (https://www.gnu.org/software/cflow/) and you get a very good view of the static structure of any codebase.

    To get a Runtime view i prefer the call graph emitted by the profiler gprof.

  • ghidra

    Ghidra is a software reverse engineering (SRE) framework

    • A more recent open source tool, NSA Ghidra can also navigate sources, and decompile assembly back to C code. See https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra

  • InfluxDB
