large program data structure

Hello group
Since I want to modify a large program written in C(40K line) for the
academic purposes and the program consists of several modules, it is
necessary to have software structure in order to modify the
program.Unfortu nately the program has no documentation regarding software
structure except comments inside code.
Anybody knows what is the best tool for extracting structure of the large
programs such as one I indicated above.?
Thanks

The reference to 'comments inside code' suggests you have source code.
If so, modify the source as you need and compile it. If not, find the
author of the program and coerce the source code out of her.

I'm looking for information on working with large data files using FSO, XML. I have a program which creates a large CSV file, over 7mb. It's a rate table of freight shipping costs. There are certain fields I do not need, some are blank. A typical line would be: Raw data: " ", "30142", "GA", "01001"," ", "MA","

I am working on a project that will have about 500,000 records in an XML document. This document will need to be queried with XPath, and records will need to be updated. I was thinking about splitting up the XML into several XML documents (perhaps 50,000 per document) to be more efficient but this will make things a lot more complex because the searching needs to go accross all 500,000 records. Can anyone point me to some best practices...

i have a large C++ data structure that i'm trying to interop with... the structure is 77400 bytes long. i have the structure defined in C#, so i was trying to just use "ref <structure>" as the method parameter. if i use this direct approach, i get the error: Message: Cannot marshal 'parameter #1': Internal limitation: structure is too complex or too large." is there a 64k limit on marshalling structures? what workarounds are there...

Hi, I'm writing an application that will pass a large amount of data between classes/functions. In C++ it was more efficient to send a pointer to the object, e.g structure rather than passing the actual structure itself. Is this true of C# also?

hi , I am not sure but I think it might be to avoid heap fragmentation due to several malloc calls. Are there any strong reason ? What are the other things that should take care when we implement a memory manager , like i) garabage collector kind of thing , ii) Safe Free of pointer in wrapper of Free functions etc . Thanks Uday

Hi, list... I have written an application in Perl some time ago (I was young and needed the money) that parses multiple large text files containing nested data structures and allows the user to run quick queries on the data. (For the firewall admins among you: it's a parser and web-based query tool for CheckPoint firewall rulebases. The user can search for source and destination IPs and get the matching rules.) The current application...

Hi. I have programmed in C++ before, but I`m a couple of years out of practice. I am seeking some advice on getting started on a quickie project. . . . I have to read a 54MB text file and do a pairwise comparison among 2500 items or so in the file. Each of those items have to be compared to every other item. Many of the comparison will only require comparing one field of the items. I will probably sort on this field before I do the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
