tracing function with Graphviz

I was searching for a tool to trace the function flow to help me understand the code. I came across the article "visualize function calls with graphviz" by Tim Jones.
Visualize function calls with Graphviz

I was able to obtain the flow diagram for simple programs and also for the example program mentioned in the article.

But failed when tried to use for large project. I included instrument.c file in the Makefile under the list of source files to be compiled. instrument.o file was generated but trace.txt was not generated. Also included -g and -finstrument-functions..

CFLAGS = -g -finstrument-functions

Can anyone guide me, if you have used that tool...

Thanks,
Chandra

SYNOPSIS

       repoclosure [options]

DESCRIPTION

       repoclosure  is	a  program  that reads package metadata from one or more yum repositories, checks all dependencies, and displays a list of
       packages with unresolved dependencies.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message, and then quit.

       -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
	      Config file to use (defaults to /etc/yum.conf).

       -a ARCH, --arch=ARCH
	      Check packages of the given archs, can be specified multiple times (default: current arch).

       --basearch=BASEARCH
	      Set the basearch for yum to run as.

       -b, --builddeps
	      Check build dependencies only (needs source repos enabled).

       -l LOOKASIDE, --lookaside=LOOKASIDE
	      Specify a lookaside repo id to query, can be specified multiple times.

       -r REPOID, --repoid=REPOID

       --repofrompath=REPOID,PATH/URL
	      Specify a path or url to a repository (same path as in a baseurl) to add to the repositories for this query. This option can be used
	      multiple	times. If you want to view only the pkgs from this repository combine this with --repoid. The repoid for the repository is
	      specified by REPOID.

       -p PKG, --pkg=PKG
