Understand for Ada is an interactive development environment (IDE) tool offering reverse engineering

Understand for Ada is an interactive development environment (IDE) tool offering reverse engineering, automatic documentation, code navigation and understanding, metrics, maintenance and cross reference tool for Ada 83 and Ada 95 source code.

It is designed to help engineers who have inherited large amounts of Ada legacy code, or those whose Ada projects have grown to a great size or complexity.

The tool offers incremental analysis (parsing) of only source code that has changed, detailed graphical reverse engineering, highly interactive cross referencing, and detailed automatic documentation via HTML output. All parsing is compiler independent - Understand for Ada uses it's own Ada parser designed especially for its kind of analysis.

Views include call (invocation) trees, callby trees, generic instantiation trees, with trees, with-by trees, Ada Structure Graphs (ASG), colorized source browsing/editing, quick and smart project wide string searching and detailed HTML/text documentation of analysis information.

Additional custom reporting/documentation can be developed using the PERL interface to Understand for Ada's database.
