I am in the business of inspecting Unix kernel dumps.  A useful tool
would be one which could format C structures.  Such a formatter would
read in structure definitions and, perhaps, legitimate values of the
structure members.  The ideal formatter would understand how to
process nested structures, and it would display values in their
symbolic form, if applicable.

Has anyone heard of or seen such a critter?  Please respond by
e-mail as I don't read comp.lang.c often.
