Code hierarchies

Call hierarchy

Call hierarchy shows callers (supertypes) or callees (subtypes) of a function.

• To explore incoming calls, place the caret at any function. Then, from the main menu, choose ReSharper | Inspect | Incoming Calls or press Control+Shift+Alt+A and choose Incoming Calls in the Inspect This list.

• To explore outgoing calls, place the caret at any function. Then, from the main menu, choose ReSharper | Inspect | Outgoing Calls or press Control+Shift+Alt+A and choose Outgoing Calls in the Inspect This list.

In the call tracking results window, you can double-click the hierarchy entry to navigate to the corresponding call in the editor or expand any node to check out their incoming/outgoing calls.

Type hierarchy

With ReSharper, you can investigate the inheritance hierarchy of types from your solution and from referenced libraries. You can see both base types and inheritors of the selected type and navigate to any of them with a mouse click. For more information, refer to Explore type hierarchy.

Hierarchy of includes

ReSharper allows you to visually analyze the hierarchy of includes for a single include directive or for a file.

To build the hierarchy of includes, place the caret to an #include directive in a file or select a file in the Solution Explorer, and then press Control+Alt+H or choose ReSharper | Inspect | Hierarchies from the menu.

You can double-click any file in the hierarchy to open it in the editor.

By default, child nodes of each file represent files included in this file, which corresponds to the Includee mode on the toolbar. You can switch to the Includers mode. In this mode, child nodes of a file represent files in the current scope that include this file.

For more information, refer to Analysis of Includes.
