If I understand you want to print the function call graph ?
That could be done in the front end by dumping for each function declaration 
every callee functions.  You can construct the overall function call graph 
by gathering all this information.  So you can say at the end what part of
your system can be reached from the main function, and what are the functions 
never reached.  

I already implemented something like that, but it is not yet finished ...
Some few hours, and it should go.
