When viewing the source code in my IDE, I sometimes want to see a column of calls / calls or graphs of function calls from a specific point in the code (until the program is running) to help me understand the sequence of events better.
An example of the functionality that I would like to see is: I click on a function called 'sendNotificationEmail' And the "stack" of functions is displayed (owner on the right):
sendNotificationEmail->EmergencyNotificator->CheckIfServersOnFire->UpdateThread->Main
My question is: can any ides / plugins / or otherwise display such information, and if not, why?
This question is not specific to the IDE or language.
