how to make gcc spit out a mapping from flow graphs to source code line numbers

Question

Can gcc spit out, given a C file, a list of the all function calls that occur, with filename and line number both for the call itself and for the function\'s declaration?

Try gcc option -fdump-tree-fixupcfg-lineno.

It will "pretty print" parsing AST (with line numbers) in a way that can easily be parsed using relatively simple lexer or any regex engine. Just find all non-keywords preceded by '=' and followed by '(' - it will be function calls.

All complex expressions will be split into several lines so no two function calls will appear on one line.

Take simple program:

#include 
#include 
#include 

#define PI (3.1415926536)

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    double  angle = PI / 2.0;
    printf("Sine = %lf, cosine = %lf\n", sin(angle), cos(angle));
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Compile it with -fdump-tree-fixupcfg-lineno and you get something like this:

main (argc, argv)
{
  double angle;
  int D.3381;
  double D.3380;
  double D.3379;

  # BLOCK 2, starting at line 8
  # PRED: ENTRY (fallthru)
  [test.c : 8] angle = 1.57079632680000003119857865385711193084716796875e+0;
  [test.c : 9] D.3379 = [test.c : 9] cos (angle);
  [test.c : 9] D.3380 = [test.c : 9] sin (angle);
  [test.c : 9] printf (&"Sine = %lf, cosine = %lf\n"[0], D.3380, D.3379);
  [test.c : 10] D.3381 = 0;
  return D.3381;
  # SUCC: EXIT

}

You won't get any complex expressions - just assignments and function call and no CPP macros, very easy to parse. Loops and conditionals don't make it much more difficult.
