Tools to get a pictorial function call graph of code [closed] (7 answers)

Closed 9 years ago.

Coming from a java (and other OO backgrond ) i got very cosy in with my objects, natural encapsulation and polymorphism.

All this i expected, the one this i didn't expect was to miss my class diagrams!

When the going gets tough or you start to worry about over coupling it was always my first stop. But i cant seem to find a C style equivalent (that doesn't date from the mid 90's) diagramming system or utility for C.

have i just missed some thing? is there a hidden gem out there some where? Even just something to show function calls between files so i can get an idea of whats going on where.

In short: Does any one have a suggestion (or tool) for how to model C file sets? function calls, includes, etc.

Thanks.

You can generate C code from class diagrams with UML applications such as IBM Rational Rhapsody or Eclipse-based open source Topcased.

You can generate call graphs, calling graphs and dependency graphs from C code with doxygen, powered by graphviz.
