Crystal FLOW is a software tool for reviewing C/C++ source code that offers a range of features, such as flowcharts, rich trees, and Visio/JPEG exports. It is available in two editions - Browser and Professional - each with different features, including call/data flows, object/stack size, and data dependency.
There are multiple flowchart options to choose from, including level, optimal, loop and conditions, and area wise. You can also synchronize your code and flowcharts while browsing, comment flowcharts for a wider audience, and export flowcharts to various formats including BMP, JPEG, and VISIO.
Crystal REVS has many features to improve code readability and detect errors easily, including auto-formatting of code and comments, rich Call/Caller Trees, Class Trees, and Include/Include By Trees. You can also search at the project level for words, objects, modified objects, regular expressions, and do lexical searches, and use software metrics such as McCabes and Halstead.
Crystal REVS comes in several editions, including DataFlow, which offers rich trees, object dataflows, callflows, flowchart inline expansion, and an add-on for document generation. The Docs edition offers comprehensive documentation with flowcharts, trees, source code, and full browsing, while the Professional edition includes features of all editions plus rich trees, object/stack size, data dependency, custom symbols, source code publisher, batch output, and add-ons for document generation and command line mode.
Overall, Crystal REVS is a powerful software tool for understanding code in less time, creating flowcharts, and improving code quality.
