There is a set of tools from McCabe & Associates called Battlemap, ACT & 
the Inference Engine.  These tools are designed to measure complexity 
of C code (as well as code in other languages) and it runs under UNIX on
Sun and a few other platforms.  It can produce the calling structure
of a pieced of code as well as the internal structure of the code.
It can produce a report or a graph (or both) and using the inference 
engine it produce cross reference information on the internal 
structure of the code - including called-bys called-from calls-to 
and number of calls.  Although, I found it rather limited in its
capacity as a test tool - which was its purpose, it sounds like it
might suit your purposes.  If you'd like any more info, send me 
some e-mail.
