shell program- how many times a function is called

We have a program source C and is required to indicate how many times each function is called from the C program. also print the line number where there is a call.
I've tried something like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

for i in $*;do
    if ! [ $i.c ]
    then 
    echo $i is not a C file.
    else echo $i is a C file.
    fi
    echo "enter the string to search:"
    read string
    u=`grep -c $string $i`;
    v=`grep -n $string $i`;
        if [ $u -gt 0 ] 
        then 
            { echo $i contains the searched function, $u times.
            echo $v
            }
        else    echo ERROR- the file does not contain that function.
        fi

done

but for eg. if I give a file that isn't C source it doesn't show the right message.
also I'm not very sure that this is the right way to solve this problem, because it only works for the functions that you read from the keyboard , not for each function that you have in your program.
so if you have other ideas please help.
thank you. and sorry for my bad exprimation.

NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell SYNOPSIS
sh times ksh times DESCRIPTION
sh Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell. ksh Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell. On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways: 1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes. 2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments. 3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort. 4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari- able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not performed. ATTRIBUTES
