John Volan says

<<I've been toying with the thought of doing it using GNAT's front end ...
or maybe this would be a good application for ASIS ... hmm ... what's
the status of ASIS & GNAT? Gotta look that up ...>>


GNAT/ASIS is fully operational, and we will be announcing commercial spuport
for ASIS in the near future. Meanwhile, there is already a commercial
product (from Mark V systems) that uses the GNAT/ASIS interface to generate
structure diagrams for GNAT programs.

Yes, GNAT/ASIS could be used to generate a pretty printer. However (says
he a bit mysteriously) I advise against investing much effort in such a
project right now!
