Abstract :
In this paper we describe the application of our tool (CGA) for locating and understanding functionality in unfamiliar code of complex software systems onto the Gnu compiler collection GCC (approx. 1 million lines of C-code). The analysis´ goal is to identify and understand those code locations that implement GCC´s functionality of ´parsing constructors in C++ programs´.
