If you want to know, dynamically, which functions are being used you could get the (vc++) compiler to insert callcap hooks and then use those to dump out usage information.

This could be a useful compliment to static analysis based approaches, since it will see every piece of code that is entered during execution (regardless of how execution arrives there).
