Using the Callers-Callees Window to Examine Function Caller-Callee Data

You use the Callers-Callees Window to examine information about a function, its callers, and its callees. See Callers-Callees Function Metrics for information about the types of data the Callers-Callees window displays.

To open the Callers-Callees window:

1. Select the function you want information about by clicking it in the right Function List display pane.

2. Click the Callers-Callees... button on the lower Analyzer tool bar.

The Callers-Callees window appears.

To traverse the call stack in the Callers-Callees window:

Click one of the callers or callees of the current function.

Any function you click becomes the current function, with its callers displayed in the upper pane, and its callees in the lower pane. This function also becomes the selected function in the Function List display.

You can specify the data to display and its sort order in the Callers-Callees Metrics Dialog Box:

To open the Callers-Callees Metrics dialog box:

Click Metrics... in the Callers-Callees window.

The Callers-Callees Metrics dialog box operates like the Function List Metrics Dialog Box, except that for metrics with attributed, exclusive, and inclusive data, you can sort only on attributed data. See Choosing the Metrics Displayed and the Sort Order for more information.

If you have selected a subset of load objects for which to display information, a function can appear in the Callers-Callees window as the current function without any callers. This is because the callers are in a load object which is deselected.
