How can we list all the functions being called in an application. I tried using GDB but its backtrace list only upto the main function call.

Answer 1

You want a call graph. The tool that you want to use is not gdb, it's gprof. You compile your program with -pg and then run it. When it runs a file gmon.out will be produced. You then process this file with gprof and enjoy the output.
