Tool to trace function calls

[Thomas Glanzmann]

Hello,
I am looking for a tool like strace or ltrace that accounts every 'call'
on x86 executables. Maybe has valgrind such a option?

As such things are inherently platform-specific, posting to a newsgroup
specific to your platform would be best; tools are not topical here.

A call graph? man gprof

Hmm. I wrote a small trace utility to trace calls to malloc() and
friends. It should be possible to use that as a model for code to
trace an arbitrary set of functions. If interested, you can find the
source at http://www.iedu.com/mrd/c/mtrace.c - have fun!
