<h2 class="chapter">8 Incompatibilities with Unix <code>gprof</code></h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><small>GNU</small> <code>gprof</code> and Berkeley Unix <code>gprof</code> use the same data
|
||
|
|
file <samp>gmon.out</samp>, and provide essentially the same information. But
|
||
|
|
there are a few differences.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> <small>GNU</small> <code>gprof</code> uses a new, generalized file format with support
|
||
|
|
for basic-block execution counts and non-realtime histograms. A magic
|
||
|
|
cookie and version number allows <code>gprof</code> to easily identify
|
||
|
|
new style files. Old BSD-style files can still be read.
|
||
|
|
See <a href="File-Format.html#File-Format">Profiling Data File Format</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> For a recursive function, Unix <code>gprof</code> lists the function as a
|
||
|
|
parent and as a child, with a <code>calls</code> field that lists the number
|
||
|
|
of recursive calls. <small>GNU</small> <code>gprof</code> omits these lines and puts
|
||
|
|
the number of recursive calls in the primary line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> When a function is suppressed from the call graph with ‘<samp>-e</samp>’, <small>GNU</small>
|
||
|
|
<code>gprof</code> still lists it as a subroutine of functions that call it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> <small>GNU</small> <code>gprof</code> accepts the ‘<samp>-k</samp>’ with its argument
|
||
|
|
in the form ‘<samp>from/to</samp>’, instead of ‘<samp>from to</samp>’.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> In the annotated source listing,
|
||
|
|
if there are multiple basic blocks on the same line,
|
||
|
|
<small>GNU</small> <code>gprof</code> prints all of their counts, separated by commas.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> The blurbs, field widths, and output formats are different. <small>GNU</small>
|
||
|
|
<code>gprof</code> prints blurbs after the tables, so that you can see the
|
||
|
|
tables without skipping the blurbs.
|
||
|
|
