Diomidis Spinellis b21e3ca297 Update for CScout version 2.2
Version 2.2 includes numerous fixes and the following enahncements.
- All query results are presented through a page selection interface.
- Identical files in different locations are identified and presented
  in the file information page and through the file metrics.
- Identifiers occuring at the same place in identical files are considered
  to be the same.
- Facility to display the call path from one function to another.
- New option to display call graphs as GIF images avoiding the need for
  an SVG plugin for medium-sized graphs.
- The SQL backend supports four additional tables: STRINGS, COMMENTS,
  FILEPOS, FILECOPIES.
- Allow attribute declarations to follow labels (gcc extension).
- Support indirect goto labels (gcc extension).
- Support (ANSI-style) nested function definitions (gcc extension).
- The macro expansion algorithm follows more closely the C standard
  specification.
- Allow braces around scalar initializers (common extension).
- Macro calls in function arguments now get recorded as calls from the
  enclosing function, rather than the function being called.
- Significantly faster file post-processing for the web and the SQL
  interface in large projects.
- Array designators can be denoted through a range (gcc extension).
- Support for symbolic operands in gcc asm constructs.
- Allow __typeof__ declarations to be preceded by type qualifiers.
- Correctly handle __typeof__ of objects with a storage class within
  typedef declarations.
- The order of include file searching now matches more closely that of
  other compilers: absolute file names are never searched in the include
  file path, and non-system files are first searched relative to the
  directory of the including file.
- Allow empty initializers and compound literals. (gcc extension)
- Support for the alignof operator (gcc extension)
- The equals sign following an initializer designator is optional
  (gcc extension).
- A declaration expression can be used as the first expression of a for
  statement. (C99)
- __typeof can also have as its argument a type name
- Support for designators in compound literals. (C99)

CScout is a source code analyzer and refactoring browser for
collections of C programs. It can process workspaces of multiple
projects (we define a project as a collection of C source files
that are linked together) mapping the complexity introduced by the
C preprocessor back into the original C source code files. CScout
takes advantage of modern hardware advances (fast processors and
large memory capacities) to analyze C source code beyond the level
of detail and accuracy provided by current compilers and linkers.
The analysis CScout performs takes into account the identifier
scopes introduced by the C preprocessor and the C language proper
scopes and namespaces. CScout has already been applied on projects
ranging from tens of thousands of lines, like the FreeBSD and
Linux kernels, and the Apache web server.
This free unsupported version of CScout is distributed under the terms
of the CScout Public License, which is available in the accompanying
documentation.
