Re: Using VS2005/C++, how to create a function call (directed) graph or cross ref. table

As I wrote, I overcame all those administrative issues and setup all those
relevant entries in the configuration file manually. The key problem is that it
DOES NOT PRODUCE the function call & called graphs.
What are the default names of those files so I know what to look for?

And the key question is what are the 3 top probable causes to not
create those two graph files?

What I meant by index.html file being empty is that the 'Main Page' tab is
empty.
The 'Files' tab does list all my 11 .CPP & 13 .H files and the 'Classes'
tab seems
to list all classes.

Is it possible that Doxygen has a problem with finding \ connecting with
GraphViz?

I don't use the wizard myself, just edit the configuration file. And there
should be a setting in the configuration file for the path to the graphviz
executable.

I do know that neither doxygen nor graphviz requires administrative rights
to install or run... but I'm not surprised they don't show up on the start
menu, they are command-line applications.

I have no clue about the use of Doxygen except knowing that it is a
system
to manage (and generate?) documentation.
Would you please be more specific as to what / where should I look for
there?


Not so much to manage documentation, as to analyze your program structure
and generate documentation, including comments placed in the code to give
you a high level of control over the result.

Look at the CALL_GRAPH and CALLER_GRAPH options, or \callgraph and
\callergraph comments.

This is good for checking few single functions here and there. Isn't
it?
If so,
it is not practical for producing a total function calls graph (or
cross
ref. table) for
ALL functions in a larger program at once which is what I meant.
I should have emphasize it in the first place.

Doxygen can generate a multi-level call graph... it is designed for
ANSI
C++, but I helped the author add some support for C++/CLI.

Am I missing something understanding that such a fundamental
service
is
not available in VS2005+SP1?

You can use call browser, which is part of VS2005 IDE. Just
right click on any function and select "Call Browser" item
in context menu.
