A toolset for maintaining hybrid C++ programs

We present a toolset for maintaining C++ programs which are written using a hybrid object-orientated programming style (i.e., one that combines procedural and object-orientated techniques), The toolset maintains a database with control and data flow information found in source code and it is based on a compact hybrid data model for C++ programs. This information is visualized and manipulated both textually and graphically, A maintenance exercise performed on a C++ program using the toolset demonstrates that its code visualization Features, abstraction mechanisms and graph management techniques constitute a promising platform towards the comprehension and maintenance of complex hybrid C++ code.
