Code hierarchies
In CLion, you can build the following hierarchies:
Type hierarchy shows parent and children classes of a class.
To build it, place the caret at the desired class in the editor and call from the main menu (or press Control+H).
Call hierarchy shows callers (supertypes) or callees (subtypes) of a function.
To build it, select the function the editor and call from the main menu (or press Control+Alt+H).
Imports hierarchy shows where the current file is included and tracks all files included in the current file.
To build it, open the file in the editor or select it in the Project view and call from the main menu (or press Alt Shift H).
Once built, hierarchies can be brought up for close examination in the Hierarchy tool window ().
You can retain the current tab and have the next hierarchy built in a new one.
