Hi, any chance of adding a feature to generate visual graphs such as called by from a function, or a graph breaking down every call and sub call in a function?
I doubt our studio will upgrade to 2008 for a couple of years. That being said, would that feature in VS2008 produce a call graph on par in terms of completeness with Understand C++ or what visual assist could potentially do? Thanks anyways
There are a lot of edge cases with trying to produce a call graph from the source code alone. Also there are times when you can only construct an accurate call graph by running the code and seeing what happens, making it more of a debugger / code profiler action.
How close does Find References come to doing what you want?
We're currently using VS2005 for all C++ development. Find references does surprisingly well. At the very least if it's results could be translated into a visual graph representation that would be a great start.
