Re: Synopsis as documentation tool

I looked into using Synopsis to generate control-flow diagrams as 
documentation for C code. This was a while back. I didn't get far, as I was 
waiting for an engineer at work to show me how it might be useful. The last 
news I got was that, since our code uses function pointers extensively, that 
this probably wouldn't be worth the effort. I assume this is correct.

I see  that there could be other documentation generated from it much like 
what JavaDoc or Doxygen produces (structure dependency diagrams being the 
coolest, in my opinion). I'm just guessing, though, about Synopsis as I 
haven't read the documentation and must ask to be excused for any ignorance. 
Just the idea of an abstract syntax tree with a Python interface is pretty 
cool, anyway, and means there must be a lot of different potential uses.
