The Callers-Callees Tab

The Callers-Callees tab shows the selected function in a pane in the center, with callers of that function in a pane above it, and callees of that function in a pane below it. The callers pane is indicated by the icon callers icon, the callees pane is indicated by the icon callees icon, and the selected function is indicated by the icon center function icon.

In addition to showing exclusive and inclusive metric values for each function, the tab also shows attributed metrics. If either an inclusive or an exclusive metric is shown, the corresponding attributed metric is also shown. Attributed metrics are indicated by the icon attributed metrics icon.

The percentages given for attributed metrics are the percentages that the attributed metrics contribute to the selected function's inclusive metric. For exclusive and inclusive metrics, the percentages are percentages of the total program metrics.

You can navigate through the structure of your program, searching for high metric values, by selecting a function from the callers or the callees pane. Whenever a new function is selected in any tab, the Callers-Callees tab is updated to center it on the selected function.

The callers list and the callees list are sorted by the data in one of the columns, allowing you to identify easily which functions have high metric values. The sort column header text is displayed in bold face. You can select the sort metric column by clicking its column header. Changing the sort metric in the Callers-Callees tab changes the sort metric in the Functions tab.
