Name of this utility?
March 08, 2002 01:19 PM
Isn''t there a unix utility that inspects your source code and builds a function-call hierarchy list ( main() calls func1(), which calls func2(), etc..)? I never used it but I think I''ve heard of it. Can anybody tell me what it is?

If you mean it creates documentation from source, you probably mean doxygen.

A profiler : gprof ?

No, I''m not looking for a profiler. I want something that just takes a look at the source and produces something like:
main()
----func1()
--------func3()
------------func4()
----func2()
--------func3()
------------func4()
which tells me that:
main() calls func1() and func2()
func1() calls func3()
func2() calls func3()
func3() calls func4()
I''m still looking over the doxygen features, but so far it doesn''t look like it does this. I''m not interested in the ''documentation generation through formatted comments'' which seems to be the main feature of doxygen. I did find a link there to a program called cxref which does exactly what I''m looking for, but it doesn''t support c++. Thanks anyway,

cxref appears to do exactly what doxygen does.
Call/sequence graphs are also on the doxygen todo list:
Perhaps you could email the author to show some support and get info on an exstimated timeframe for the feature''s implementation.

Try cscope if you''re looking for a powerful tool to analyze code.
