Current call graph rendering when using function pointers

A snipet of the current support of the call graph. No function poiinters even show up.

A picture showing a possible solution

a proposed option of showing the function pointer within a call graph.

Description:
Function pointers are currently ignored in call graph generation.

void myFunction(void);
void (*const myFunctionPointer)(void) = &myFunction;

void main(void)
{
    myFunctionPointer();
}

void myFunction(void)
{
    while(1);
}

The generated call graph for the above code is shown in CallGraph-Current.png. The pointer execution is ignored.

Pointers are dynamic, and it may not be possible to show the actual function being called. However, a more accurate graph can be generated by showing the execution of the pointer as shown in CallGraph-Requested.png. A dotted line surrounds the function pointer name to differentiate it from a normal function call. A different icon could also be used in the call tree.
