    I believe this to be the case.  Also, call graphs in C++ are much harder to
    analyze, due to the complicated name lookup and overload resolution
    semantics; to handle them in your browser, you basically need to implement
    a large chunk of the C++ frontend.  The obvious solution is to use the
    pre-existing frontend.

I designed a way to make this approach handle preprocessor
conditionals usefully.  Nobody has implemented it, though.  It
requires preprocessor changes and front-end changes.
