Answer 1

You can use logs .

#define BEGIN_FUNC(X,Y,Z) printf("Function %s Entered at line %d from file %s",X,Z,Y)
#define END_FUNC(X)  printf("Function %s Exited at line %d from file %s",X,Z,Y)

foo()
{
BEGIN_FUNC(__func__,__FILE__,__LINE__);

//Your code here


END_FUNC(__func___FILE__,__LINE__);

}

OR

Use bt in gdb. I call it backtrace.
