Answer 1

绝对不是免费的，但在过去的公司中，我使用Enterprise Architect生成了一个非常有用的基于代码库的类图。

Answer 2

Doxygen is free, popular, and easy to use. http://www.doxygen.nl/

Grab the graphviz plugin to generate some fancy graphs.

Answer 3

You can use Eclipse CDT for this. It has Type Hierarchy View among other tools to navigate/analyse source code. It can build type hierarchies for user defined types on the fly on big C++ project.

Answer 4

If you used GCC, you might consider making a GCC plugin or a GCC MELT extension. But that will take you some time.

Perhaps some expensive commercial tools like Coverity could help.
