.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / August 2005How do I generate C++ Call and Callers Graph in vs.net 2003?
In VC++6 I was able to list where every instance of a function was called from the Browse tool using "Call Graph", and I was able to list every caller of a function from the Browse tool using "Callers Graph". How might I generate this information from VS.NET?

You can still access 'definitions and references' though, using Edit -> Find and Replace -> Find Symbol. Andrew Thanks, Andrew. I am in the process of porting large amounts of code from VC++6 (it is not seamless), and this feature is essential. Do you happen to know if (or when*) VS.NET (Beta 2, 2005) has this feature? and if so, if I can develop under VS.NET 2005, then compile under VS.NET 2003 for production? Thank you sincerely, AVee * if it will be a while, and since this feature is very important (as well as browsing enumeration of class instances), it will pay me to wait. > "AVee" <AVee@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote... > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Andrew WOW! I have been missing this feature ever since I switched! I never knew about the "Find Symbol" feature. If the Symbol you search for is the name of a function, you can get a "poor man's callers graph". It still doesn't hold a candle to what they inexplicably ignored when replacing VC6, and I'll be very eager to have those Graphs back! > "AVee" <AVee@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote... > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Andrew Dear Scot, Like you, I would like the callers graph back - but porting a large volume of code without this feaure represents a major expense - that's why it would be helpful to know (approximately) when this feature is scheduled to be reintroduced. Andrew knew that is it scheduled with VC8. I am hoping he can tell when. In keeping with your analogy, symbol searching can be used as a "poor man's callers graph" - but I don't consider the Visual Tools to be a "poor man's developer platform". Instead, I have come to rely on it - so losing capability in an upgrade is tough. I hope someone gets back to us on this. Best regards > WOW! I have been missing this feature ever since I switched!

Well VC8 should be released by the end of the year. The betas are available though - if you're an MSDN subscriber you can get the full Studio betas. Otherwise you can grab the Express Edition Beta from http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/default.aspx and try porting your code in that. Then when it's all done just recreate the project in VC7 using the new source files. The betas obviously aren't as stable as a full release but it should be enough to work with. -- Andrew Thanks, Andrew. Do you happen to know if MSDN "Professional" subscribers are entitled to the release version of VC8 - or how I might find out.
