Macondo maps the hidden structure of VB6 software
A free Windows tool that builds a semantic code graph and calculates the blast radius of changes in Visual Basic 6.0 projects.
Field notes
Macondo converts VB6 project files into a semantic graph covering forms, standard modules, class modules, members, and call relationships. Its documented analysis can export Markdown repo maps or complete JSON graphs, while the Blast Radius view ranks upstream callers and affected UI forms before a refactor. The homepage gives a concrete sample: 1,482 calls resolved across 54 listed source units, with a reported 32ms cold parse and a Critical 94/100 regression-risk score.
