While I don't make it a habit of posting to multiple lists, I wanted
to be as ecumenical as possible so as to get the most responses.
I've searched UGU and a couple other archives, but I'm still looking for:
programming tools for...
  C - including ``code exploration'' tools for trying to track code flow
      through the kernel and other large beasts...
      so far: ctags, cflow (is out for Linux, prob FreeBSD too), [x]lint
  sh - m4 works beautifully; snagged a bunch of macros from autoconf and
      dressed them up to be what _could_ be a mostly-shell-independent
      programming language (I use that term with strong reservations).
      I use it here at work to generate portable but highly redundant
      shell scripts that don't rely on fancy features like, oh, the
      case statement or shell functions... ;) or that they work right.
      It'd work okay for doing simple scripts that just set envars
      and envars that point to other envars by name, and could do
      nested command subst on sh's that don't support it with temp vars...
  PERL - no real programming tools here, but there's a byacc that emits
      C or PERL (sort of a overstatement, since you have to write the
      actions and headers for the rules in one or the other) that
      lets you throw together parsers quickly (hope your lexer is simple)
      A ``perlflow'' utility, if possible, would be nice
  misc - it'd be nice to maintain keyword and/or function names across
      large hierarchies of code; I would probably generate database for C
      mostly, but it'd be nice to have a framework to parse the info out
      of any language.  Maybe some search engine like pursuit might work
      but there has to be something better for code
      WEB, noweb, nuweb(?) look interesting, haven't used 'em
      Something to show variable lifetimes (first use, last use) would be
      nice in several languages, but most notably assembler
