There is a review of CommonView in the newest Byte magazine (1/90.)
I haven't used CommonView but have used the GlockenSpiel C++ preprocessor
fairly extensively in the last 3 months. It runs out of memory if you
are not careful with the header files. Otherwise it appears to be a solid
1.2 implementation. I like the fact that you can make the name-mangling
more civil and use CodeView pretty well with it. (As you can tell, I am
running it on MS-DOS.) My .cxx files are about 700-1000 lines each.
