Source-Navigator is a powerful code analysis and comprehention tool that provides a graphic framework for understanding and reengineering large or complex software projects. Source-Navigator's cross-platform nature also makes it an invaluable code porting tool.

Source-Navigator parsers scan through source code, extracting information from existing C, C++, Java, Tcl, [incr tcl], FORTRAN, COBOL, and assembly programs and then use this information to build a project database. The database represents internal program structures, locations of function declarations, contents of class declarations, and relationships between program components. Source-Navigator graphical browsing tools use this database to query symbols (such as functions and global variables) and the relationships between them. 

Originally developed by [Cygnus], then acquired by [Red Hat], then abandoned and open-sourced.
