language agnostic - Is there any way to display a function call graph? -


while browsing through source code in ide i'll wish see call stack/s or function call graph particular point in code (while program isn't running) me understand sequence of events better.

an example of functionality i'd see is: click function called 'sendnotificationemail' , 'stack' of functions displayed (owner right):

sendnotificationemail->emergencynotificator->checkifserversonfire->updatethread->main 

my question is: can ides/plugins/or otherwise display such information, , if not - why?

this question isn't ide or language specific.

this tend ide / language-specific. intellij , eclipse both have call hierarchies available java methods, lets @ callers , callees given method. visual studio offers similar facilities ms languages.

for less mainstream languages, might need swallow rich programmer food if available tools aren't it.
