Code -> flow chart conversion software

[David Goldsmith]

Is there software that will take C++ source and generate from it a
flow chart? Thanks!

C++ code that represents a program that generates a flow chart ->
Preprocessor -> Compiler -> Linker

You might take a look a jGrasp, which has a CSD view that shows the
structure of a program. However, it is not strictly a flow chart, and they
have fallen into disuse. I haven't seen a generator in use since my old
COBOL days.

Generally a flow chart comes before the code, no?

I see you've never had to maintain someone else's code.

Exactly! (I'm starting a new job, wherein I have to learn someone
else's very complicated code, and no, they never flow charted it,
neither before, during, nor after development. My boss says he did
prepare an outline long ago before developing the FORTRAN code of
which the C++ I have to learn is a port, but he's long since lost
track of that outline. I'll take a look at jGrasp. Thanks!)
