'''Source Insight''' is a [[Software:Source code editor|source code editor]] by Source Dynamics.  Source Insight provides [[Syntax highlighting|syntax highlighting]] code navigation and customisable [[Keyboard shortcut|keyboard shortcut]]s. It bills itself not just as an editor but a tool to understand a large source code base, and for this reason is called "program editor and analyser." It provides features such as relation, context, and [[Symbol|symbol]] windows. It also can display reference trees, class inheritance diagrams, and call trees, as it builds an internal database of symbolic information as it self-parses the source. Its greatest benefit is to speedup code comprehension on an unfamiliar project.

==Novel features ==
Source Insight provides all the features of the venerable [[Software:Cscope|cscope]] in a GUI environment along with a program editor. These C features are extended to object oriented domain and made more robust by being tolerant of the '[[Typedef|typedef]]s' or 'pragmas' of embedded processor C extensions. Further features such as 'ifdef support' and conditional parsing allows view of the code with inactive code visually and thus aiding speedy comprehension. As more code is added, Source Insight automatically keeps its database updated, displaying variables in different colors depending on if they are local, global, static, function arguments, or yet undefined.<ref>[http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia?term=source%20code%20editor techWeb], "source code editor, with "source insight" as a demonstration vehicle"</ref>
