- CCured - http://manju.cs.berkeley.edu/ccured/
Source-to-source translator for C, which analyzes the program to determine the smallest number of run-time checks that must be inserted in the program to prevent all memory safety violations.
- LCLint - http://lclint.cs.virginia.edu/
Tool for statically checking C programs, GPL.
- CodeSurfer - http://www.grammatech.com/products/codesurfer/
An analysis and inspection tool that lets software developers and maintainers easily understand detailed dependence relations in source code.
- Exuberant Ctags - http://ctags.sourceforge.net/
Generates an index (or tag) file of C language objects found in C source and header files that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility. [Open Source, GPL]
- C to Java converter - http://www.soften.ktu.lt/~stonis/c2java/index.html
Convert C preprocessed source to Java.
- Compilercache - http://www.erikyyy.de/compilercache/
Caches compiled object files to dramaticly speed up compiles. More convenient than make, and speeds up builds (like RPM builds) that make doesn't. Obsoleted by ccache.
- ccache - http://ccache.samba.org/
Acts as a caching pre-processor to C/C++ compilers, which often results in a 5 to 10 times speedup in common compilations. [Open Source, GPL]

A small and smart programming tool that supports software engineering under C in the subjects modularity, overview and navigation (for Windows 9x/NT/2000). By Ezer Programmings.
- CC Shell - http://ccsh.sourceforge.net/
Allows C source files to be directly executed as scripts (using #!), speeding development and simplifying maintenance.
- Myer - http://home.comcast.net/~jyavner/myer/
Colorizes identifiers and constants to show their marginal cost to the program's coupling and cohesion metrics. [GPL]
- ASTREE - http://www.astree.ens.fr/
A static analyzer analyzes reactive, critical, real-time programs written in the C programming language and looks for runtime errors. All possible errors are detected by the analyzer, with minimal "false alarms".
