Re: [bug-cflow] Help, please! I want to analyse ALL functions in a set of C files.

Yes, normally cflow descends the parse tree beginning from the "start
symbol", which is "main" by default. There are two important points:
first, the start symbol can be redefined using the --main (-m) option,
and secondly, if the start symbol does not appear in any of the source
files given to cflow, it will output flow graphs for all functions.
The latter seems to be exactly what you need. So, I'd suggest giving the
name of a non-existing function as the start symbol, e.g.:

  $ cflow -b --cpp `cat ~/emacs-cflow-ls.txt` -m someneverdefinedsymbol *.c

Please, let me know if that works for you. In the meantime, I'll
implement an option that would instruct cflow to output all functions
without using this kludge.

Sergey
