How to generate a call graph #646

Closed anitsh closed 3 years ago

anitsh commented 3 years ago

Dear Semantic Community Members,

I would like to know if anyone has generated a call graph from the output of Semantic?

I am not sure if it was right for me to raise the issue here or not but I believe that if any examples exists then it would help others like me find more real use-cases of the tool in general.

If the question is inappropriate, kindly close the issue.

Thank you.

Right now we don’t have any extant examples of this; we used to, but that was in the days when we used the untyped AST. I think the best thing to do is to look at how the tagging analysis is done (here is the Java example) and repurpose that to emit nodes in your call graph rather than Tag data. I’m going to close this now, but feel free to leave comments if you have questions.
