One possible way to handle this would be to run the whole source code tree through a tool like doxygen. Not sure if it will get you everything you want, but I believe if you set up the configuration file correctly you can answer questions like "which function calls which function" and "which files include which other files" without having to do much (if anything) to the source itself.

I was just given a huge (250,000 lines) legacy ObjC project to modify, but without knowing what methods call which others from where, it's a bit overwhelming... A tool that can show the basic pathways of the method invocations would be awesome.

The compiler must already do this, so if it could generate a report... Maybe I'll have to write my own tool, not that I have the time. What do others do in such a situation, just slog through the code manually?
