Call graph generation [message #209355]

I was looking for a good call graph generator (using static analysis). So
far, I haven't found anything satisfactory. I was wondering if it would be
possible to use CDT (specifically, the module that parses and calculates
the call hierarchy) to write a Java program that builds a call graph for a
complete C/C++ project.

More specifically, how modular is the code for the C/C++
parser/call-hierarchy-generator? I have downloaded the source code of CDT.
It would be quite helpful if someone could point me in the right direction
as to where to start to pull out the parser.

You may also want to look at Doxygen. It can generate call graphs among
it's many abilities.

Doesn't doxygen output images of the callgraph? I wanted the data in a
parse-able format. Or does it output the .dot file? Parsing the .dot file
would be do-able too.

Don't know. Try it and see what comes out.
