Columbus/CAN

Columbus is a reverse engineering framework application that provides an environment which enables the parsing, analyzing, internal representation, filtering and exporting of information extracted from C/C++ source files into various formats including XML. It supports project handling, data extraction, data representation and data storage. In addition, efficient filtering methods can be utilized to produce comprehensible representations of the extracted information.

Features to facilitate the re/reverse engineering process:

• Robust and error-tolerant parser front end (CAN extractor module) supporting the ISO/IEC standard C++ and the dialects of the Microsoft, Borland and GNU compilers.
• A standard internal representation of the extracted information that can be used for various purposes.
• Efficient browsing and filtering capability within the Columbus Graphical User Interface.
• Versatile project handling possibilities such as automatic and manual set up and project file import.
• Command-line operation for integration into build processes.
• Extensibility through an Application Programming Interface (API).
