How do I make gdb print functions of interest as they are called, indented according to how deep in the stack they are? I want to be able to say something like (made up): (gdb) trace Foo* Bar* printf And have gdb print all functions which begin with Foo or Bar, as they are called. Kind of like gnu cflow, except using the debugging sy...
Is there a tool out there for visualizing dynamic call graphs? I saw a reference to one for Visual Basic 6 but I'd like one for .NET. If I had to build a visualizer myself should I bother with the .NET profiling API or should I do something with Mono.Cecil? I started writing a CLI runtime with Cecil, but I guess it'd be easier if I just...
I have a collection of legacy C code which I'm refactoring to split the C computational code from the GUI. This is complicated by the heavily recursive mathematical core code being K&R style declarations. I've already abandoned an attempt to convert these to ANSI declarations due to nested use of function parameters (just couldn't get th...
I have a large work space which has many source files of C code. Although I can see the functions called from a function in MS VS2005 using the Object browser, and in MSVC 6.0 also, this only shows functions called from a particular function in a non-graphical kind of display. Additionally, it does not show the function called starting f...
Can gcc spit out, given a C file, a list of the all function calls that occur, with filename and line number both for the call itself and for the function's declaration? I know gcc somehow retains this information with -g (debuggers rely on it) and that it can dump control flow graphs with -dr (but without filenames or line numbers); bu...
The idea is that given a specific input to the program, somehow I want to automatically step-in through the complete program and dump its control flow along with all the data being used like classes and their variables. Is their a straightforward way to do this? Or can this be done by some scripting over gdb or does it require modificati...
Hi, I have been trying to find a way for some time to automate the progress in GDB of tracing the control flow of a program. Even just a simple way of automating the 'n' command so you can see what order routines are called. I realise that you can issues 'n x' where x is the number of times GDB steps through, but the trouble with that...
I just got a heaping pile of (mostly undocumented) C# code and I'd like to visualize it's structure before I dive in and start refactoring. I've done this in the past (in other languages) with tools that generate call graphs. Can you recommend a good tool for facilitating the discovery of structure in C#? UPDATE In addition to the too...
I'm trying to exercise the principles of Dependency Injection, and I'm having some difficulty doing so. I have a function that periodically goes off to my database, retrieves a list of products, and then runs a battery of tests against those products in order to determine their safety. If one or more of the products is found to be unsa...
I use GNU gprof 2.15.94.0.2.2 to do profiling of my C++ program, which has large call cycles. I expected to see something like below in the call graph output as gprof's documentation indicates: index % time self children called name ---------------------------------------- 1.77 0 1/1 main [2] [...
I've just started work on an existing .net application with about 40 active projects. While familiarizing myself with the project, I find myself constantly stepping through the application just to learn the structure and logic flow. It would make this process so much easier if I could let the application run and log every method call and...
Do you know an integrated tool that will generate the call graph of a function from Python sources? I need one that is consistent and can run on Windows OS. ...
Looking for a tool that: Produces a visually appealing, orthogonally structured graph hierarchy Outputs high-quality PNG images (300dpi+) Visually differentiates classes, abstract classes, interfaces, and enumerated types (preferably by colour) Interactive user interface Allows pruning of packages and/or individual classes from the dia...
Is there any tool, free or commercial, that can generate flow visualization graphs for a c# method? It should be able to deal with decision points (maybe represent them as vertices) and with sequential code fragments (maybe represent them as edges). I know there are similar C/C++ and Java related questions, but I'm interested in C#. ...
I'm looking for a utility similar to gprof that will generate a call graph for PHP code. I'd prefer something that can produce graphical output, or at least text output that can be interpreted by GraphViz or similar, but I'll settle for plain text output. Does anyone know of any tool that can do this? ...
I have a large 95% C, 5% C++ Win32 code base that I am trying to grok. What modern tools are available for generating call-graph diagrams for C or C++ projects? ...
Hi All, I have a bunch of Perl scripts and Perl modules given to me by someone. I have a driver program that tests all these scripts and modules. I want to generate a call graph and see the flow. Is there something available for Perl for doing this? I'd like something like pycallgraph (for python). I am running all this in AIX. Thank...
I am working on a moderately complex Perl program. As a part of its development, it has to go through modifications and testing. Due to certain environment constraints, running this program frequently is not an option that is easy to exercise. What I want is a static call-graph generator for Perl. It doesn't have to cover every edge ca...
Hi, I am trying to draw a control-flow graph(CFG) from source code using the GLEE graph library and C# language. Problem is, I am new to GLEE. I need a tutorial or sample programs/projects to help me get started quickly with GLEE. The source for which I need to draw a CFG has the following structure: begin myProcedure statement 1; ...
First time poster. I'd like to analyze and understand a certain Java app and I think a call graph would be very useful. How do I generate one? I'm using Eclipse. Thanks. ...
