questions for developers



OK,
  Who does the graphing and plotting development?


On the code analyzer, the wish list is the following.

Suppose I have an old C program with, say 20 pages of code, and
several subroutines.

I would like to build some sort of flow chart which indicates all
assignments of variables, calls to the subroutines, execution of
loops, etc.

Ideally, it would give a graphlike picture of the interactions and
allow a step-by-step execution (like a debugger) on parts of the code
that I choose.  I see some commercial products like "Understanding,"
but my guess is that they are very expensive.

I also see some analyzers to find security and memory leaks.

I don't know what is out there, and am looking for some guidelines.

TIA,
