Any free Ada source code analyzer's avail. ?

[Kevin]

I'm looking for a "free" tool that will do some basic design analysis 
on Ada source code.  In particular a tool that will do things like:

1.  count the number of types, objects, subprogram declarations, etc.
    in a compilation unit.
2. identify the number of simple types (Integer, Float) and 
    complex types (record, array) in a compilation unit. 
3. count the number of imported types, constants, subprograms 
    actually used in a compilation unit.

UNIX based would be nice but PC based would be fine too.

Can anyone help?

Analysis tools that would really be cool are: (1) measures of cohesiveness
and modularity, and (2) hypertexting all occurences of objects together (e.g.,
variables to their references and procedures to their calls).

With the exception of possibly number 3, I have a tool that with some
small changes might meet your needs.  Currently the tool extracts this
information from source files and places the data in a database for 
searches (ie. what is the type of variable a, what is the base type of 
variable a if the type is not an Ada defined type)

The tool is not "Free", but I would be willing to provide you with a 
no-cost license.

The current tool is available for the Vax/VMS and PC in DOS/Windows.

Well, you can certainly get these tools. Unfortunately, the ones I know about
aren't free :(

  Not free, but the Ada Analyzer (LittleTree Consulting?) available from 
Rational as a layered APEX product does exactly what you want.  Its even UNIX 
based.

You could build such a tool on top of ASIS without much difficulty.

(Not surprisingly, we also sell tools that do this kind of analysis...
email product_info@rational.com, ask for Ada Analyzer information)
