Hello, thank you for taking a look. I am looking for a nice and easy way to "spit-out" all variables within a specific source file. I can use a nice text editor to see the variables in a source file by color, I am looking for maybe a simple tool that will produce a list of all variables within a source file, maybe a compiler diagnostic output or a debugging tool that will identify what I'm looking for.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
On Linux and the like, there is a tool called cproto (you can probably find a port to Windows too). It's mainly meant to generate function prototypes and extern declarations, to be put in a header file. It will also work with static and inline functions. Unfortunately, I think it only works with file-scope identifiers, i.e. functions and global variables, so if you want local variables too, you're out of luck.
Gimpel PC-LINT has an option to output just about everything about a c file including all symbols including locals. but its not a free program.
Check Splint, it's a free lint tool. I've never used it though, so I don't know if it supports that feature.
All great information. Thank you for your help!
