Source Code to Flowchart Converter: a Generic Framework for Source Code to Flowchart Conversion Selim Del¿o¿lu

There are a wide variety of tools that enable people to visually design flow-charts for algorithms to generate source code or code templates for desired programming languages. A challenge can be to analyze existing source code and generate a schema that describes the algorithm independent of the underlying programming language. This schema can be used to generate a flowchart or one can further combine this with existing code generators to implement a translator that converts source code from a programming language to another one. The book proposes a generic framework for source code to flowchart conversion named "SourceCodeParser". This framework defines a generic format for specifying programming languages. The specification can be used to generate and compile a parser for that programming language.
