[SOLVED] Java/C library for code analysis

[fyplinux]

I am seeking for a library either in C or Java that could scan over a source code file, output all the global variables and the function prototypes.

Although it is not hard to do it personally, using the library is more easier.

The doxygen system provides a nice summary of functions and globals (among other things). Be aware that the doxygen library requires a bit learning, and might be a more sophisticated solution than necessary for your situation.

If the Code is written in Java, then have a look at the Java Reflections.

They can read compiled Java byte code and output all kinds of information about the code.

If the code is java, you could just generate "JavaDocs" ?
