Re: [Axiom-developer] Possible approach/tools for graphing code relations

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

There are tools to develop the "call graph" of C/C++ code. Mel Gorman 
used one to diagram the Linux kernel. See

http://www.skynet.ie/~mel/projects/codeviz/

for the details. I have no idea whether this would work for any of the 
languages Axiom uses, since I don't know the syntax or semantics of any 
of them (except Lisp, of course).
