I'm kind of missing something opposite. A tool that can draw a diagram out of the code, that by dropping some details but preserving important stuff like what objects travel through which fuctions, can give you better understanding of what architecture in your program/system do you actually have.

Because it might be different from the architecture you think you have and some bugs or opportunitues for improvement might be more easily spotted through this different lens.




See this [1] article by Martin Fowler. UML promised and pushed for more control over how much of the program it could sketch/model.
