Visualize function calls with Graphviz
M. Jones
explores Graphviz on IBM developerWorks.
"Spending the time to work through a mass of source code can reveal the function flow to you, but when function pointers are involved or the code is lengthy and convoluted, the process becomes considerably more difficult. This article shows you how to construct a dynamic graphical function call generator using open source software and a bit of custom glue code."

Visualize function calls with Graphviz Posted Jul 1, 2005 2:17 UTC (Fri) by dvdeug (subscriber, #10998) [Link] You can use this technique to trace much larger programs, and then runs it on gzip? I think that's a good sign it needs some tweaking before being run on Mozilla or gcc or many other programs.
