Diomidis Spinellis 39b6e964c0 Update to release 1.16
Reformat and update pkg-descr

Release 1.16 is associated with the following changes:
-  Declarations can be intermixed with statements (C99).
-  __typeof can have as its argument an expression
   and not only an identifier.
-  Support for C99 variable number of arguments preprocessor macros.
-  Allow case expression ranges (gcc extension).
-  Recognise __atribute__(__unused__) for determining which
   identifiers should not be reported as unused (gcc extension).
-  Command-line option to generate a wrongly scoped identifier and unused
   include file and identifier warning report.
-  Separate identifier attribute for enumeration constants.
   This allows us stop incorrectly categorizing them as having global
   (compilation unit) visibility.
-  Error reporting format is now compatible with gcc.
-  Dereferencing a function yields a function (common extension).
-  Command-line option to process the file and exit.
-  Document processing of the FreeBSD kernel.
-  Correct typing of assembly-annotated declarators.
-  Fixed assertion failure that could be caused when parts of concatenated
   identifiers were no longer available (e.g. when processing files
   with the -m T option.)
-  Correct handling of macro parameters that match other macros and
   are followed by a concatenation operator (they were erroneously replaced).
-  Add workaround for gcc __builtin_va_copy in the provided
   definition files.
-  Corrected the handling of main() in the example definition
   files.

CScout is a source code analyzer and refactoring browser for
collections of C programs. It can process workspaces of multiple
projects (we define a project as a collection of C source files
that are linked together) mapping the complexity introduced by the
C preprocessor back into the original C source code files. CScout
takes advantage of modern hardware advances (fast processors and
large memory capacities) to analyze C source code beyond the level
of detail and accuracy provided by current compilers and linkers.
The analysis CScout performs takes into account the identifier
scopes introduced by the C preprocessor and the C language proper
scopes and namespaces. CScout has already been applied on projects
ranging from tens of thousands of lines, like the apache web server
(using 36MB of memory, taking 6 minutes on a 500MHz Celeron processor),
to above a million lines of code, like the FreeBSD kernel (using
813MB of memory, taking 3 hours 42 minutes on a 900MHz Itanium 2
processor).
This free unsupported version of CScout is distributed under the terms
of the CScout Public License, which is available in the accompanying
documentation.
