Re: X-Ref Referres to for constructors

[Riccardo Cohen <rcohen@dial.oleane.com>]

This goes with what I asked last week : Is there any way to know where a particular constructor or destructor is called.

I think it is very important to have this information and also implicit calling of parent constructor/destructor. I consider the caller/called tree is not complete without that. But I may understand it is not easy to extract that information from the source code, as I am not a parse expert.

Does anyone know if a tool can do that (free or commercial ?)
