Abstract
A method of debugging multiple function calls in a block of program code includes examining a line of code within the block of program code; detecting if the line of code is a call instruction; and if the line of code is a call instruction, setting a first variable equal to a destination of the call instruction; setting a second variable equal to a name derived from the first variable; and adding the first and second variable to a function list. The method also includes presenting the function list to a user. A system for debugging multiple function calls in a block of program code includes an analyze module, a call module, a first address module, a name module, a record module, and a choice module. The analyze module examines a line of code within the block of program code. The call module detects if the line of code is a call instruction. The first address module sets a first variable equal to a destination of the call instruction. A name module sets a second variable equal to a name derived from the first variable. The record module adds the first and second variables to a function list. The choice module presents the function list to a user.
