Free software call-graph generators

Run-time call-graph (most of tools listed are profilers with callgraph functionality):

• gprof : part of the GNU Binary Utilities
• KCachegrind : powerful tool to generate and analyze call graphs based on data generated by Valgrind's callgrind tool.
• Mac OS X Activity Monitor : Apple GUI process monitor Activity Monitor has a built-in call graph generator that can sample processes and return a call graph. This function is only available in Mac OS X Leopard
• pprof tool, part of open-source google-perftools.
• CodeAnalyst from AMD (released under GPL)

Static (for C language), for getting call graphs without running of application:

• doxygen : Uses graphviz to generate static call/inheritance diagrams
• cflow : GNU cflow is able to generate the direct and inverted call graph of a C program
• egypt : a small Perl script that uses gcc and Graphviz to generate the static call graph of a C program.
• CCTree : Native Vim plugin that can display static call graphs by reading a cscope database. Works for C programs.
• codeviz : a static call graph generator (the program is not run). Implemented as a patch to gcc; works for C and C++ programs.

PHP, perl, python

• Devel::NYTProf : a perl performance analyser and call chart generator
• phpCallGraph : a call graph generator for PHP programs that uses Graphviz. It is written in PHP and requires at least PHP 5.2.
• pycallgraph : a call graph generator for Python programs that uses Graphviz.
