Visually developing structural features of C/C++ applications

You can use Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams to develop structural features in C/C++ applications.

A UML class diagram provides a graphical representation of the classes in a C/C++ application and depicts some or all the classes in an application for the purpose of understanding and collaboration. You can use class diagrams to develop structures and relationships for C/C++ classes and data types. You can use class diagrams to create your own context, using a subset of the classes within a project. You can also start C/C++ source editors from class diagrams and specify the mappings of C/C++ fields to UML attributes or associations.

You can create C/C++ classes and data types, navigate to the source code files, and develop C/C++ classes and data types directly from an open class diagram.

The following is from the other topic: You can use class diagrams to examine the structure and relationships of C/C++ classes and data types in C/C++ applications.

A class diagram depicts some or all the classes or components in an application which you can use to examine, understand, and collaborate on your application.
