I think you'd be very interested in an Ada analogue to our Java Browser, which combines JavaDoc + "hyper cross referenced" Java. See http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/Formatters/JavaHTMLizer.html. The cross references are accurate according to the language scoping rules, not just "string match", so this is really useful on big systems. You are right, to do this, you ideally need a tool that "knows" Ada in the sense of being able to resolve symbols the same way as the Ada compiler does. While we have full Ada parsers, we do not yet have Ada symbol table information. We could certainly build it with enough encouragement. -- Ira D.
