Nit 1: I'd prefer the following format for the data dictionary:

-m   (Local Object)[xref]
-   [wavelan_cs.c, 564]
-
+m  [xref] [wavelan_cs.c, 564] (Local Object)

I.e., three times as many entries on the screen and with the
constant-width part aligned.

Nit 2: You can drop the "Report" from the name of every section, we
know it's a report.

I'm continuing to explore this wonderful resource.  Do you intend to
GPL the source?

Answer to Daniel:

The program I used is a purchased product. So, no, it won't be GPL. I have no control over the contents of the reports other than addin/removing source
files/trees that are parsed and hand editing the generated HTML. Since there's over 1GB of HTML, the editing part is definetely out. :D


Answer to Richard:

I simply parsed the entire /usr/src/linux-2.4.2 tree (including the modules) and applicable gcc header files. I may have missed a few, I may have gotten a few
too many. Those that are more "in the know" than I can feed me info so I can correct the files/trees that are parsed.
