ask for tool suggestions

[yanwan]

Can anyone suggest a tool used with visual studio, which is able to clearly
show how a program is run? For a large c++ project, it is always difficult
for me to see which process runs first, which process runs last. If it is
clear, it will be much easier to build the program. Any other similar tools
which can assist vc compiling are also appreciated.

Thank you!

I strongly recommend you to ask in a Visual Studio newsgroup or in
a newsgroup for your OS (MS Windows, undoubtedly). They know more
about available tools, especially the tools you described, which are
very platform-specific.

The debugger that's built into Visual Studio will let
you single step through your program's source, set
breakpoints, etc. See your documentation and/or a Visual
Studio newsgroup for more details.

Get familiar with your compilers debugger. The Visual Studio has an
extremely powerful debugger which will allow you to step, line by line
through code, and even watch the 'call stack', variables during runtime etc.
This question is more appropriate for a microsoft newsgroup.
