from C++ header files to UML class diagrams?

from C++ header files to UML class diagrams? Hi everybody Currently I do have C++ header files with class definitions (member variables and methods), no source files with implementations yet, it doesn't even need to compile yet and everything is in "design phase". From those header files I would like to automatically generate a UML class diagram, with bells&whistles (and all the arrows like dependencies, aggregations, etc.), so I can nicely show my bosses my suggestion for that future class concept. Does anybody of you know such a program to generate UML from header files? I know that you could do it with "Together Solo" since I already did exactly that, but the new company I work at is very small and the piles of bucks you need to buy "Together Solo" are very big ($3500+). Since I basically want to make some UML class diagrams I (of course) tried tools like ArgoUML and DIA. ArgoUML looks quite nice, but it's not really "finished" yet and... well... it's made for Java: I wasn't yet able to define pointers to classes as class members - and I do love pointers and I do need them. DIA is more "drawing" than "syntax checking" but the whole application crashed several times at my computer - so I'm not impressed. I want to add that I am a coder guy: I prefer to write down all the derivations and dependencies right into a class definition than to draw some lines and arrows into diagrams (those arrows I want to be generated automatically). I even need no automatic code generation. As soon as I am confident in my design concept and my bosses nod I will start to code it again from scratch anyway, with code commenting and such. Any help very welcome! Thanks & Bye, Matthias / T.T.H.
