    A powerful and user-friendly binary analysis platform!

  • cargo-call-stack

  • For rust code, I have found https://github.com/japaric/cargo-call-stack to be the best available option, as it does take advantage of how Rust types are implemented in LLVM-IR to handle function pointers / dynamic dispatch a little better. An even better solution would try to use MIR type information as well to further narrow down targets of dynamic calls in a Rust-specific way, but no such tool exists that I know of.
