Can anyone suggest me a helpful programming language which can be used to create a tool which will analyse the given C program and generate a txt report or html report containing information about the given program (function list, variable list etc). The program I intend to build is similar to doxygen but i want it for my personal use.
Both Python and Perl have excellent string processing capabilities.
I’d suggest using something like ctags to parse the program, and just create a script to read the ctags file and output in txt/html.
The file format used by ctags is well-defined so that other programs can read it. See http://ctags.sourceforge.net for more information on ctags itself and the file it uses.
