callers graph?
-
A few months back I made the switch from MSVC 6.0 to visual studio .NET 2003. I have found the new version of every feature of MSVC 6.0 that I uses save one. The call / callers graphs. For those unfamiliar with the call graphs you could select or type in a function name, and get a tree view of all the functions it it calls, and the functions they call (and the functions they they call...). You could also go the other direction select or type in a function name and get a tree view of all the functions that call it, and functions that call them, (and functions that call them...) This functionality must exist in VS .NET 2003. But where? Even after trolling through the help for a while I have not yet found it. Anybody know where the call(ers) graphs have gone?

It doesn't exist. I don't know whether it's been brought back in VS 2005. I've not really used VC 7 in anger since it came out - whenever I have to do C++ it's still in VC 6, otherwise I've been doing C# - but the call / callers graph was something I used frequently especially when maintaining others' code.

It's really gone. But I read somewhere on the MS-Site that it shall be back in VS2005. There are many people around, which are unhappy with 2003 vs VC6. See for examaple this thread. I still stick with VC6 despite the bad compiler, because the workflow is much better. If anybody has succeeded to integrate the C++-engine ov VS2003 intzo the VC6-IDE (compiler and libraries), I would appreciate any assistance. Christof
