A tool for understanding multi-language program dependencies
IEEE
(2003)
Abstract
This paper describes a prototype tool that facilitates the process of understanding and managing multi-language program dependencies. More specifically, the software tool maintains a repository of host-to-foreign language dependencies between C/C++ and Java code. We describe some program comprehension features of the tool and we discuss a preliminary case study performed in order to verify its functionality and validate its usefulness. Based on the results of this study, we continue improving the tool.
