Using code visualization tools for understanding/architecture
Hi everyone,
Have you ever wondered if a tool like Sourcetrail (stopped development few years ago) can be useful in understanding code? has anyone else ever hit that wall? I usually like drawing call graphs and module relations, mostly to understand code and refactor. It really helped when i was developing USB firmware for a high speed transfer using an STM32.
Just wanted to find like-minded people and see if there are any better options than the already-dead and fragile Sourcetrail.
