Hi All

I am experimenting with open source code in VS 2008 C++.

I insert breakpoints at different places in the code to understand what is going on.

Is there a way for me to observe the different functions that have been called at each breakpoint?

i.e. WinMain
Function A
Function B

etc?

without inserting debug code?

If you are using the debugger then you just need to set a breakpoint at the beginning of the function and single step through it. Or did I misunderstand your question?

Solution 1

Opening the call stack window will give you the current execution path to see where the call to this function has come from...

Solution 2

You can also add logging through OutputDebugString().
It will give you the Trace for all the functions. But for that you need to make call to it exclusively.
