Mountain View, California-based Sun Microsystems Inc’s SunPro unit is integrating its SparcWorks Professional C and C++ development environments with San Francisco, California-based Interactive Development Environments Inc’s Software through Pictures software engineering tools using SunSoft’s ToolTalk application integration system. The two companies claim that it will enable developers to reverse- and forward-engineer C code without having to update information manually in each environment. SparcWorks C developers will be able to generate structure chart and data diagrams in Interactive Development’s C development environment to prototype their C code, which can be analysed, debugged and compiled from SparcWorks. Developers can generate C++ code fron Interactive’s object-oriented design C++ graphical editor for use in SparcWorks C++. The work will be complete by the second half of 1993.
