C# CallStack Analyzer

A Visual Studio Code extension that analyzes and displays the complete call stack for selected C# functions.

Features

• Function Call Stack Analysis: Select any C# function and analyze its complete call stack
• Visual Call Stack Display: View the call hierarchy in a clean, organized webview panel
• Reference Tracking: Automatically finds all references to the selected function
• Multi-file Support: Works across multiple files in your C# project

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Open the folder in VS Code
3. Run npm install to install dependencies
4. Press F5 to launch a new VS Code window with the extension loaded

Usage

1. Open a C# file in VS Code
2. Select a function name (e.g., CalculateTotal, ProcessData, etc.)
3. Right-click and select "Analyze Call Stack for Selected Function" from the context menu
4. The extension will analyze the function and display the complete call stack in a side panel

How It Works

The extension performs the following steps:

1. Function Identification: Identifies the selected function in the current file
2. Reference Search: Uses VS Code's built-in reference provider to find all usages of the function
3. Caller Analysis: For each reference, identifies the containing function/method
4. Stack Building: Constructs a hierarchical call stack showing the flow of execution
5. Visual Display: Presents the results in an easy-to-read webview panel

Requirements

• VS Code version 1.60.0 or higher
• TypeScript 4.9.4 or higher
• C# project with proper file organization

Development

Building the Extension

npm run compile

Watching for Changes

npm run watch

Testing

1. Press F5 to open a new VS Code window with the extension loaded
2. Open a C# file and test the functionality

Configuration

Currently, the extension works out-of-the-box with default settings. Future versions may include configurable options for:

• Call stack depth limits
• File exclusion patterns
• Display formatting options

Limitations

• Works best with well-structured C# code
• May not correctly analyze complex inheritance scenarios
• Requires the C# function to be properly defined and referenced
