Crystal REVS for C++ 4.36

Crystal REVS for C++ 4.36 brings you a useful tool which integrates several functionalities such as Flowcharts, Rich Trees, DataFlow, CallFlow, Full HTML documentation Premium editing, Auto-formatting, Tokens panel, Comments panel in a single tool.

Major Features:

1. Flowcharts
   • Understand a function in less time
   • Divide-and-conquer very long functions
   • Reduce bugs
   • Make team discussions focused and more productive
   • Check for correctness, Improve the design
   • Create quality documents
2. Trees
   
   • A single click and you see the call-sequence. Everything else is filtered out.
   • A single click and you can see all the possible call-sequences.
   • Understand project code
   • • File-relationship trees - understand how two files interact with each other
     • Class-relationship trees - understand how two classes talk to each other
   • View the File call tree. You can see the call-hierarchy among the functions in that file
3. CallFlow
   • Make a fast attack on main( ) or other high-level functions
   • • You can see the control flow of main and the function-calls in main( )
     • CallFlow shows how a function's work is partitioned among the called functions
   • Dig deeper by expanding function-calls
   • • Expand the function-calls in a CallFlow; Visit the source code of the called functions; keep going deeper
   •  Export or print a CallFlow
4. Rich Trees
   
   • In the Call-tree, Crystal will display the name of the global variable alongside each function that uses it.
   • View filenames where each function is defined
   • • In the tree, each node shows the function name and the filename where it is defined
   • See what structures/classes are used by each function in the tree
   • • In the tree, each node shows the function name and the structures/classes that are used by the function
     • Also view - what members of a struct/class are used in each function
   • See how much stack-depth is used by each function-call
   • • Avoid failures due to stack overflow
5. DataFlow
   • View how a structure member is used by various functions !
   • When making code modifications, you will need to find how a structure member is used by various functions
   • When exploring code, suppose you need to track how an argument is used in called functions
   • The DataFlow is the flowchart of an object
   • With the graphical view of the object's use, you can understand how the object is used
6. HTML Documentation
   • Comprehensive documentation including flowcharts, call-trees etc.
   • For internal use or customer deliverable
   • View flowcharts in your web browser - even if you do not have Crystal Flow
   • Code metrics - identify high complexity areas; improve software quality
   • Volume metrics - by lines, code-flow, declarations, and identifiers
   • Complexity metrics - McCabe?s as well as Halsteads
   • Color coded to easily view the extremes
   • Easy to browse, Wide coverage, reduce time spent on code reviews
   • Review code alone or in groups
   • Interactive HTML output offers quick and intuitive browsing of the code.
   • Discuss designs and code-flow without actually sharing source code
7. Formatting
   • The Code is Easy-to-Read
   • Hard to read code - transformed into very readable code
   • Readable code - detect errors easily
   •  Your code conforms to a Software Development Standard
8. Browse
   • Identify the recursive functions in a project
   • Find unused functions and unused variables
   • View all #if, #else, #endif etc, in the current file
   • View the size of memory needed by each struct or union
   • View the sequence of if, while, case, etc. that need to be true - to reach the current statement
9. Navigate
   • Revisit functions you worked on in the previous or current sessions.
   • Use the file-outline to rapidly familiarize and navigate within a file
10. Batch Processes
    • Want flowcharts of all functions to be created?
    • Export flowcharts for all functions to Visio or as BMP
    • Print all flowcharts in the project
    • Export or Print all Trees
    • Export Call-trees, caller-trees, file trees, include-by trees, project trees
    •  Print all Project Files
11. Command line add-on
    • Want to run Crystal FLOW as part of an overnight run?
    • Update the documentation such that it is up to date with all code modifications during the day.
    • Update the software conformance report before the documentation is generated
    • Export Flowcharts or Trees to desired formats
    • You continue to use Crystal FLOW meanwhile.
    • Get the command line add-on!
    • Product definition, design specification, User interaction, Software quality and performance considerations - You have a unique set of strengths...
    • When you complete the C/C++ task in less time, your strengths are visible.
    • When you take longer, you look like an average engineer.
