The Callers-Callees Tab

The Callers-Callees tab shows the selected function in a pane in the center, with callers of that function in a pane above, and callees of that function in a pane below.

In addition to showing exclusive and inclusive metric values for each function, the tab also shows attributed metrics. For the selected function, the attributed metric represents the exclusive metric for that function. For the callees, the attribute metric represents the portion of the callee’s inclusive metric that is attributable to calls from the center function. The sum of attributed metrics for the callees and the selected function will add up to the inclusive metric for the selected function.

For the callers, the attributed metrics represent the portion of the selected function’s inclusive metric that is attributable to calls from the callers. The sum of the attributed metrics for all callers should also add up to the inclusive metric for the selected function.

The metrics shown in the Callers-Callees tab can be changed or reorganized; see the online help for details.

Clicking once on a function in the caller or callee pane selects that function, causing the window contents to be redrawn so that the selected function appears in the center pane.
