Include Gardener

Introduction

This is a small C++ based commandline-tool which analyzes C/C++/Python/Ruby code and creates a graph or include tree. The result can then further analyzed by other tools.

The following output formats are supported at the moment:

dot (Graphviz): see http://www.graphviz.org/documentation
XML / Graphml: see http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/

This tool

is used via command-line
supports recursive file search
is able to process the files via multiple threads
written in C++
tested on Linux (GCC, clang)
analyzes C/C++ code
analyzes Python code
analyzes Ruby code

Build Description

Build dependecies

cmake

Runtime Dependencies:

boost

Test Dependencies:

Python 3.x
PyUnit
PyGraphviz
PyGraphml
XMLRunner

Note: pip requires GraphViz development files to install PyGraphViz and PyGraphML. To install these libraries using apt-get, run sudo apt-get libgraphviz-dev

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make doc
make install

In case of having issues with linking boost like /usr/lib/libboost_log-mt.so: error adding symbols: file in wrong format: This might happend on a multi-lib system. Try to specify the boost location manually:

cmake ../ -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/lib64/

Usage

# analyzes recursively all files in path/to/files,
# the result is written to stdout
./include_gardener  -P path/to/files

# multiple P options can be provided, for example
./include_gardener  -P path/to/files1 -P path/to/files2

# analyzes recursively all files in the curren directory,
# the include path is set to ./inc and the result is
# written to the file graph.dot:
./include_gardener  -P ./ -I ./inc -o graph.dot

# the result can then be further converted to a scalable vector graphics file.
dot -Tsvg graph.dot > graph.svg


# The option `-l` can be used to specify the language (default is C/C++).
# Use `-l py` to analyze python code or `-l ruby` to analyze ruby code.

Limitations

C/C++/Obj-C

This tool does not respect any #if #else #endif or other pre-processor statements than #include.
