Does Xcode have a way to show the caller function of a method? I want to know all of the calling functions of a method in a class. A solution would be to find the method in the project, but sometimes different classes have methods with the same name – That could find us a method we’re not looking for..
Many other IDEs have this capability, such as Visual C++ 2003/2005/2008,Eclipse …
Can you do this in XCode?
Xcode 4.4 intrudced this functionality:
New Features in Xcode 4.4 (Scroll down to ‘Find and Search Additions’)
Move your cursor on top of the function you are interested in
Open the Assistant editor(⌃ +⌘+Enter)
On the top of the assistant editor, Select ‘Callers’
You will see a list of all the function that’s calling your function
Not the as effective as other IDEs, but does the job.
