You could use Doxygen (or other source documentation system, there are a
lot of choices).

It parses specially formatted comments in your code plus your code
semantics and produces beautifully formatted documentation, with tables,
graphs, etc.
Everything cross-linked, in several formats (html, chm, pdf, etc.)

Even if you don't add the special comments, Doxygen can extract lots of
useful information from your source.

One feature I like most is the call/callee graph, where your functions
are displayed in a 2D graph with all the interactions between them. To
generate this, you will need to install Graphviz also.
