I'm searching for a tool to get the used header (if there is one/more) for every line/statment in my c++ code.

Example:

#include<iostream> 
std::cout << "hallo";

The output i'd like to see:

line 2: std::cout uses "iostream"

I found this question, the tools there do most of the part, they show dependency per file.

Does anyone know such a tool or how to acomplish this with the tools given in the answers in the question above?

Goal: I'm checking code for the conformity to a standard which i have a list of allowed headers for. With the desired output I can create a metric saying something like: 60% of the code is using allowed headers, 15% is using other headers or something like that.

  • If all you want is a metric saying "this file uses unallowed headers", why do you need a line-by-line analysis? (I say that because tracking lines through name resolution is a fair amount of work, if you already have a working C++ name resolver)

  • Another way is simply to remove/rename the forbidden files and se where the build falls over :-) Did you find a tool to do what you ask? I would like that too

You can try CppDepend to get all the methods called by a specific one with the location of each method called.
