i am new to this group so please excuse me if this topic has already been discussed in the past. is there a commercial or public domain PDL process for C++? that is, a way of putting inline commentary to describe a program and being able to extract that information (as well as language parsable information) out into a design document form. i will summarize and post responses if this has not been discussed before. please email to the signature address since the posting address is incorrect. thanks in advance, -- Tim Barrios, AG Communication Systems, Phoenix, AZ UUCP: {ncar!noao!asuvax | uunet!zardoz!hrc | att}!gtephx!barriost Internet: gtephx!barriost@asuvax.eas.asu.edu voice: (602) 582-7101 fax: (602) 581-4022

[N.b.: Return mail failed; sorry for posting.] In article <4e853a67.21458@orbit.UUCP> you write: >is there a commercial or public domain PDL process for C++? >that is, a way of putting inline commentary to describe a >program and being able to extract that information (as well >as language parsable information) out into a design >document form. I cannot help with PDL specifically, but I have written an AWK-script that reads a C++ header file and produces a UNIX-style manual page. It does a reasonable amount of formatting, and also moves some declarations around. This could perhaps be useful as an illustration of how you can process C++ code in a very simple-minded way. If you are interested, I can mail you the code for `classdoc'. Please send me a summary of what you find out. Best regards, Dag M.
