Tool for Cross-Referencing Ported Code

[brandon.e.taylor]

I am looking for a tool capable of producing HTML pages from source
files written in different languages, where the source written in one
language is a port of the source written in another language.
Primarily,
I need to be able to create hyperlinks - e.g. through the use of
tagged
comments in the source - linking corresponding code, all the way down
to
the statement level, between the original source codebase and the
ported
codebase. Ideally, I would like the tool to support the typical
complement of interesting source-to-html features (e.g. syntax
highlighting, line numbering, symbol cross-referencing, etc.) as
well.

My current need is to map from C to ASM (and vice-versa), but I would
like to find a tool that supports and/or is extensible to other
languages.

I would appreciate any pointers to open source tools that already
meet
my described need or open source tools that could be relatively easily
modified to meet my described need.

Thanks.

Javadoc might work for you. http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/ I know
that people use it successfully in C/C++.

This seems fairly nice, but I don't know if it meets your
requirements. However, it is open source, and is descended from
NVU, the Mozilla HTML editor.

Have a look at Linux Cross Reference project at http://lxr.linux.no/.
I am not sure to which extent it meets your needs, but I think it is
worth a look.

That project writes in their home page:

<quote>
The index generator is written in Perl and relies heavily on Perl's
regular expression facilities. The algorithm used is very brute force
and extremely sloppy.
<end quote>

This means:
<quote>
There are obvious disadvantages to this approach. No scope checking is
done, and the most annoying effect of this is mistaking local identifers
for references to global ones with the same name.
<end quote>
This type of work can be done only in the compiler.

That is an HTML editor. Nothing I saw there speaks about indexing...

It's worse than that. The original poster's request was for something
that generates cross references between two implementations of the "same"
software in two different languages.

Sorry. I should have been more clear. The tool need not automatically
generate
the cross-references. I am simply looking for a tool that will
automatically
generate HTML for the code with hyperlinks for cross-references that
are manually
determined and identified (e.g. using specially formatted comments) by
the
developer(s) performing the port. This should not be terribly
difficult so I am
expecting to find a tool (Doxygen, perhaps?) that can already do this
or one that
will do this with a bit of modification/coaxing. :-)
