1In general it is impossible to know what is behind pointers at compile time. Unless the particular usage is trivial, in which case it should be replaced by direct calls anyway.freakish– freakish2024-09-21 06:36:38 +00:00Commented Sep 21, 2024 at 6:36

You need to analyse the systematics behind this, there is no easy way around this.Doc Brown– Doc Brown2024-09-21 07:30:12 +00:00Commented Sep 21, 2024 at 7:30

@ close voters, though we do not provide help for debugging specific code, conceptual debugging questions do clearly belong to software engineering. This question is quite broad, of course, and might be closed with "needs more focus", but not as "off topic"Doc Brown– Doc Brown2024-09-21 07:34:51 +00:00Commented Sep 21, 2024 at 7:34

You have to run the program then generate a backtrace. Especially in C, there are all sorts of ways to "smuggle" pointers around untraceably, so producing a fully static callgraph is impossible.pjc50– pjc502024-09-23 08:57:08 +00:00Commented Sep 23, 2024 at 8:57

How to Edit
- Correct minor typos or mistakes
- Clarify meaning without changing it
- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
-
create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
``` -
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible)
<https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
