Tree stack trace (graphics) (debug visualization)

I tried to find if a library or tool exists that would allow me to visually debug my program. that is, something that displays the treeviz structure as a tree structure and highlights exactly where I am in the process tree at the breakpoint. This will allow me to quickly understand how my process works, rather than sequentially debug and create a tree in my mind.

I found that partially fulfills what I am looking for, i.e. will show the tree structure of my process and the number of calls made per function call http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graphvis/

If it does not exist, I could schedule a recording of what does the work. Thanks

visualization debugging plugin for Eclipse sounds like something that might be useful to you. In addition, the venerable Data Display Debugger also has some automatic routines for creating graphs, although the data structures that you now see. I also like the visualization of kcachegrind , but this is not really debugging help. However, its graphical view shows you the position in the execution tree.

Since the tool doesn’t seem to meet your requirements, these might inspire you to write your own;)
