Yay, for such analysis tools! :-)
But I'm curious:

What should be my "favorite VCG viewer"?
Google lead me to
<http://www.rw.cdl.uni-saarland.de/users/sander/html/gsvcg1.html>, where
I downloaded 'vcg.20050204.tgz' (which I understand is the 1995 sources
with just some licensing changed?), which I managed to build, but which
fails to run on a simple file:
Wait....................e*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
I found the patch from
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=152128#64> to cure
that one problem.
(It seems that vcg is not packaged in Debian/Ubuntu anymore, nowadays?)

Eh, "common VCG format" -- maybe common in the mid-90s? ;-)

I tried that, but 'xvcg' didn't render anything useful for a
'-fcallgraph-info=su,da' dump, hmm.
Also, I found that many years ago, in 2012, Steven Bosscher did "Rework
RTL CFG graph dumping to dump DOT format" (that's Graphviz), and then did
"remove vcg CFG dumper".
Note that I'm not actively objecting VCG if there's a good reason to use
unmaintained mid-90s software, containing obfuscated layout/rendering
source code (as far as I understand), not really in spirit of its GPL
license? (But I'm not a lawyer, of course.)
So I guess I'm just curious why it's now coming back.
Grüße
Thomas
