CScout: The C Refactoring Browser

The current version of CScout is 2.8. To run CScout download the binary bundle that matches your execution platform and the architecture-neutral bundle. Each binary bundle contains:

cscout, the CScout engine
cswc, the workspace compiler (Perl source code)
csmake, the build monitor (Perl source code)

The architecture-neutral bundle contains:

compiler-specific configuration files (C source code; gcc and Microsoft C have been tested)
ANSI C generic header files
ready-to-run example (the one true awk source code)
documentation (HTML)

All files are compressed tar or zip files and are distributed under the terms of the CScout Public License. You will need to download both the architecture-neutral files (documentation and selected source code) and the binary that matches your system. FreeBSD users would probably prefer to directly install the corresponding port (ports/devel/cscout). For really large collections (larger than a million lines of code) you need a 64 bit processor and the corresponding 64-bit binary (CScout has been tested on the SPARC-64 and AMD-64 architectures).

Unpack both files in the same location.

To see how the suported version of CScout can dump a system's source code in an SQL database or create an obfuscated version of it, you can also download from here gzip-compressed database dumps of the CScout-processed "one true awk" source code in MySQL, PostgreSQL, and HSQLDB formats, as well as the obfuscated source code in a tar.gz or zip archive.
