Caller/Callee view
Overview
The Caller/Callee view displays the active function's list of callers and callees (function being called by it). It can be viewed as an extension of the Call Tree view focused on a single function.
The view has four parts:
- a toolbar at the top, with action buttons and the Search input box.
- a function node representing the active function, with a 100% total execution time.
- the Calling tree list view displaying the callee functions.
- the Callers tree list view displaying the caller functions.
A function node has the demangled (undecorated) function name, optionally prepended with the module name, the total execution time percentage (relative to the entire trace), followed by total/self execution time and module columns.
Note
The columns in all list views can be resized and reorder. The new layout is saved across sessions when closing the application.
By default, all function instances are displayed combined, with the lists of callers and callees merged and execution time summed up. To display individual instances instead, disable Combine in the toolbar.
Expanding a caller function form the list goes up the call tree, showing a list of callers which forms a stack trace leading to the entry function. This makes it easy to see the call path that leads to a caller.
Expanding a callee function from the list goes down the call tree, showing a list of callees until a leaf node is reached. This makes it easy to see which functions are being called starting with a callee.
