Software Reverse Engineering Demo

(1 / 3)


A demo of IDE's reverse engineering product will be held in the BeatHead
lab Tuesday, Aug. 25th at 1:30.

Reverse engineering product description

(2 / 3)


The IDE product is a tool to document existing C code.  You give it
C source and a makefile, and then wait while it does an analysis of the code.
It is parsed and a relational database is generated which allows you to
browse the program and data structure graphically.  Or you can query the database
asking for things like every routine which writes a specific variable, or
all functions which return a pointer to a particular type of struct. With
the graphical editor, you can start at main and then point and grunt your
way though the calling heirarchy.  Clicking on an icon will bring up the
associated source.

This is what they SAY it does.  The demo is to give them some samples of our
code and see if it works.
