Hi List,
I wonder if there are ways to produce a call graph for elisp libraries,
or at least list all functions in the library that call a specified
function?
I use M-x occur to find out where function names appear, or edebug to
follow the controlflow. But maybe there are more specialised ways to
find out the call relationships between functions in a (big) library?
Thanks for any hints.

byte-compile-generate-call-tree (see who-calls.el).
