Try Sun Workshop 5.0 Source Browser. It allows to inspect both
program's call graph and class hierarchy. Of course, it shows only
what can be determined at compile time. If you need to investigate
true runtime behavior, I'd recommend profiling. You'll probably need
to reformat profiling output in some way to filter needed functions
and trace the actual call graph but it should not be very difficult, I
think.
