I use Clangd + Eglot + eglot-supplements if I have questions about who
call whom.

With clangd 20 one can display incoming and outgoing call trees. Only
inconvenience is that one has to expand nodes in the tree manually
because nodes are created on demand via LSP. And this of course only
sees what's compiled in.

Anyway, random example for add_text_properties_1, incoming call trees:
