    <p>I am about to starting to work on a project which involves refactoring and modifying existing code which is in c &amp; c++. The code is a bloated one and is in huge volume. Of course since the code needs to be modified, an understanding of the code has to be developed and in a very short span of time since we have some pretty time pressed project schedule. Can anyone please suggest any open source tools which will help in achieving the above. In short what I am looking for is tool which can:</p> <ol> <li>Reverse engineering tools which will help understand the design.</li> <li>Sequence generator tools which will help draw sequences at run time(Most probably we will be able to run the code, but not in the initial stages at least) or through code examination.</li> <li>Good code browsing tools to study the existing code base.</li> <li>Suitable tool which can auto refactor code with minimal efforts.</li> </ol> <p>Please do tell me about any experiences,preferences or favorites worth looknig out for.</p> <p>[EDIT] Came up with a list of tools to help in above.
