I'm looking for information on static analysis tools for Pascal. The
system of interest is VAX/VMS, but our software doesn't use most of
the extra features of VAX Pascal. Are you using a commercial tool? How
good is it? Are there public domain ones? Are there public domain
pieces from which one can build such a tool? (E.g. one could modify a
Pascal compiler or interpreter. Or convert Pascal to C, and use a
corresponding tool for C.)


The tool needs to at least be able to trace variables forward and
backward, i.e. where is X used, which other variables influence it,
is it used at all, in this procedure/module/whole program.


Thanks in advance for any information. Please mail, and I will post a
summary if there is interest.
