the people I work with learned that to comply with a CE safety requirement they need to publish flowcharts.
I have heard of some programs that can generate flowcharts from C code anyone have (god or bad) experience with them?

We use Crystal REVS ProPlus by SGVSARC. It does a fairly decent job. There are lower end editions if all you want is flowcharting, see the comparison chart. They also have a trial version if you want to give it a test drive.

UnderStand from http://www.scitools.com has this built in as well as alot more, it also makes moving around Not cheap at £850 but worth the money
I think someone is pulling their leg!

it ios actually there. You need to document that the software stop the dangerous operation if an unsafe condition exist.

Their leg!
"You need to document that the software stop the dangerous operation if an unsafe condition exist"
But does it specifically state that you need to document it using flowcharts?
Yes, I have certified much more critical products than just "electrical appliances" without an explicit need for flowcharts.
But macro-scale flowcharts can be a good help, to let a reader get a better view of what parts of the documentation that covers different parts of the operation of the product.
I just saw the free demo of Understand for C/C++ http://www.scitools.com and it was impressive.
Understand is very good.
I use the SVGS tools that Walt mentioned except I use the cheaper versions. They work very well for me.
