Improved graphs

  • In control-flow graphs, edges of WCET paths now get to keep their respective colors (blue, green or lilac) rather than having them changed to red. Instead, the WCET paths are now marked by a red halo.
  • Improved stack results visualization: a second bar now visualizes the stack self usage of a routine.
  • Improved visualization of infeasible routines.
  • Trampoline routines like ICALL/__ind_call/F_CALL are now inlined in the call graph.
  • Improved sorting of graph search results.
  • The notification about a graph being outdated is now less intrusive.

Improved AIS navigation

In AIS editor views (including the Automatic Annotations view), every annotation that has been applied to an object in the call graph is now marked with an orange star. Clicking on the star allows jumping directly to that location in the graph or assembly.
