Generation of Callgraph

[spanners]

What kind of feature is this?

• It would be useful to be able to generate a callgraph given a Matlab program as input.

MISS_HIT component affected Choose one or more of the below:

• It doesn't look like this feature neatly fits into any of these categories as a separate entity.

Describe the solution you'd like Given a collection of Matlab source files, output a callgraph (perhaps in GraphViz).

This is a duplicate of #155 so I am closing this.

Just to manage expectations, this will be hard because of the insanity of MATLAB's type system, so it will not happen soon. There is a few things that I need to do first:

• full semantic analysis, type resolution, inference and synthesis
• enough interpretation so that I can build an abstract interpretation for your program that deals with all the polymorphism and function pointers

There is a reason the Mathworks supplied tool for callgraphs does not work :/
