NAME
ncc - source code analysis
SYNOPSIS
ncc file.c
DESCRIPTION
ncc is a program that can help you
hack/study the source code of C programs. It will report which
functions call which other functions, which functions are called by
other functions and what global variables and members of structures
are used by functions. This is useful if you want to analyse a
program and eventually hack it.
USAGE
To use ncc find the Makefile of the
program you want to analyse. In the Makefile locate the line
which sets the C compiler. That is usually something like CC =
gcc and you must change it to CC = ncc -ncgcc -ncld
-ncfabs. Then compile the application. It may be useful to also
replace AR = ar with AR = nccar and LD = ld
with LD = nccld to link nccout object files.
OUTPUT
ncc will produce a file with nccout
extension for every C file analysed. Then you can use the viewer
nccnav (with nccnav program.nccout ) to view this
data and do your work. If the procedure of make links object files
with "ar" or "ld" you should manually link the produced
.nccout files.
