Is there a tool for generating call graph from Julia source code files? Something like this: [callgraph]

@mkborregaard is working on generating call graphs from TraceCalls.jl traces, but AFAIK it’s not ready yet. [image] tkoolen: In the not-too-distant future, Cassette.jl (or some package based on it) will likely address some (all?) of the known limitations of TraceCalls. My plan is to rewrite …

Yeah, I’m still working out the details how to show it as clearly as possible, and would appreciate feedback over on the issue. Here’s a gist generating my favourite representation at the moment, a call tree: https://gist.github.com/mkborregaard/c0081cd9a154018273e6b9166546d534 TraceGrap…

Clustering by file like in figure 21 is nice too

Once TraceCalls.jl got deprecated, do you know of any package that could do it with Julia 1.7 onwards ?

@pfitzseb wrote something based on JuliaInterpreter (or was it Cassette?) at some point.

https://gist.github.com/pfitzseb/ab648d9d643ac018c44a884b367634da doesn’t have any nice printing and isn’t hooked up to Plots. Shouldn’t be too hard to do though. Note that this can end up being way too slow for bigger code bases.

Currently, there’s @cstjean’s TraceCalls.jl. In the not-too-distant future, Cassette.jl (or some package based on it) will likely address some (all?) of the known limitations of TraceCalls.
