Codewalker
/kōdwȯ-kər/
n. A program component that traverses other programs for
a living. Compilers have codewalkers in their front ends; so do
cross-reference generators and some database front ends. Other
utility programs that try to do too much with source code may turn
into codewalkers. As in "This new 'vgrind' feature would require a
codewalker to implement."
