Tool to Map #include's

Question

Is there a tool available which will take a set of source files and map (in graphic fashion) how they are linked via #include?

I would like to see where there are any circular references.

Wow. Great question, Changeling! I do a lot of C programming in college, and this could save my sanity in the future. — mverardo, Jul 13 '10 at 02:06

I believe doxygen:

http://www.doxygen.org/

with graphviz installed:

http://www.graphviz.org/

will do it.

gcc(1) can produce dependency files. They are intended to be used by make(1), but they are relatively easy to parse. Use 'gcc -M -MF file' or 'gcc -MM -MF file'.

you can probably feed these to graphviz as well, since you want graphical output – eruciform Jul 13 '10 at 01:34
