It can also tell you which functions are being +called more or less often than you expected. This may help you spot +bugs that had otherwise been unnoticed. + + Since the profiler uses information collected during the actual +execution of your program, it can be used on programs that are too +large or too complex to analyze by reading the source. However, how +your program is run will affect the information that shows up in the +profile data. If you don't use some feature of your program while it +is being profiled, no profile information will be generated for that +feature. + + Profiling has several steps: + + * You must compile and link your program with profiling enabled. + *Note Compiling a Program for Profiling: Compiling. + + * You must execute your program to generate a profile data file. + *Note Executing the Program: Executing. + + * You must run `gprof' to analyze the profile data. *Note `gprof' + Command Summary: Invoking. + + The next three chapters explain these steps in greater detail. + + Several forms of output are available from the analysis. + + The "flat profile" shows how much time your program spent in each +function, and how many times that function was called. If you simply +want to know which functions burn most of the cycles, it is stated +concisely here. *Note The Flat Profile: Flat Profile. + + The "call graph" shows, for each function, which functions called +it, which other functions it called, and how many times. There is also +an estimate of how much time was spent in the subroutines of each +function. This can suggest places where you might try to eliminate +function calls that use a lot of time. *Note The Call Graph: Call +Graph. + + The "annotated source" listing is a copy of the program's source +code, labeled with the number of times each line of the program was +executed. *Note The Annotated Source Listing: Annotated Source. + + To better understand how profiling works, you may wish to read a +description of its implementation. *Note Implementation of Profiling: +Implementation. + + +File: gprof.info, Node: Compiling, Next: Executing, Prev: Introduction, Up: Top + +2 Compiling a Program for Profiling +*********************************** + +The first step in generating profile information for your program is to +compile and link it with profiling enabled. + + To compile a source file for profiling, specify the `-pg' option when +you run the compiler. (This is in addition to the options you normally +use.) + + To link the program for profiling, if you use a compiler such as `cc' +to do the linking, simply specify `-pg' in addition to your usual +options. The same option, `-pg', alters either compilation or linking +to do what is necessary for profiling. Here are examples: + + cc -g -c myprog.c utils.c -pg + cc -o myprog myprog.o utils.o -pg + + The `-pg' option also works with a command that both compiles and +links: + + cc -o myprog myprog.c utils.c -g -pg + + Note: The `-pg' option must be part of your compilation options as +well as your link options. If it is not then no call-graph data will +be gathered and when you run `gprof' you will get an error message like +this: + + gprof: gmon.out file is missing call-graph data + + If you add the `-Q' switch to suppress the printing of the call +graph data you will still be able to see the time samples: + + Flat profile: + + Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds. + % cumulative self self total + time seconds seconds calls Ts/call Ts/call name + 44.12 0.07 0.07 zazLoop + 35.29 0.14 0.06 main + 20.59 0.17 0.04 bazMillion + + If you run the linker `ld' directly instead of through a compiler +such as `cc', you may have to specify a profiling startup file +`gcrt0.o' as the first input file instead of the usual startup file +`crt0.o'. In addition, you would probably want to specify the +profiling C library, `libc_p.a', by writing `-lc_p' instead of the +usual `-lc'. This is not absolutely necessary, but doing this gives +you number-of-calls information for standard library functions such as +`read' and `open'. For example: + + ld -o myprog /lib/gcrt0.o myprog.o utils.o -lc_p + + If you are running the program on a system which supports shared +libraries you may run into problems with the profiling support code in +a shared library being called before that library has been fully +initialised. This is usually detected by the program encountering a +segmentation fault as soon as it is run. The solution is to link +against a static version of the library containing the profiling +support code, which for `gcc' users can be done via the `-static' or +`-static-libgcc' command line option. For example: + + gcc -g -pg -static-libgcc myprog.c utils.c -o myprog + + If you compile only some of the modules of the program with `-pg', +you can still profile the program, but you won't get complete +information about the modules that were compiled without `-pg'. The +only information you get for the functions in those modules is the +total time spent in them; there is no record of how many times they +were called, or from where. This will not affect the flat profile +(except that the `calls' field for the functions will be blank), but +will greatly reduce the usefulness of the call graph. + + If you wish to perform line-by-line profiling you should use the +`gcov' tool instead of `gprof'. See that tool's manual or info pages +for more details of how to do this. + + Note, older versions of `gcc' produce line-by-line profiling +information that works with `gprof' rather than `gcov' so there is +still support for displaying this kind of information in `gprof'. *Note +Line-by-line Profiling: Line-by-line. + + It also worth noting that `gcc' implements a +`-finstrument-functions' command line option which will insert calls to +special user supplied instrumentation routines at the entry and exit of +every function in their program. This can be used to implement an +alternative profiling scheme. + + +File: gprof.info, Node: Executing, Next: Invoking, Prev: Compiling, Up: Top + +3 Executing the Program +*********************** + +Once the program is compiled for profiling, you must run it in order to +generate the information that `gprof' needs. Simply run the program as +usual, using the normal arguments, file names, etc. The program should +run normally, producing the same output as usual. It will, however, run +somewhat slower than normal because of the time spent collecting and +writing the profile data. + + The way you run the program--the arguments and input that you give +it--may have a dramatic effect on what the profile information shows. +The profile data will describe the parts of the program that were +activated for the particular input you use. For example, if the first +command you give to your program is to quit, the profile data will show +the time used in initialization and in cleanup, but not much else. + + Your program will write the profile data into a file called +`gmon.out' just before exiting. If there is already a file called +`gmon.out', its contents are overwritten. There is currently no way to +tell the program to write the profile data under a different name, but +you can rename the file afterwards if you are concerned that it may be +overwritten. + + In order to write the `gmon.out' file properly, your program must +exit normally: by returning from `main' or by calling `exit'. Calling +the low-level function `_exit' does not write the profile data, and +neither does abnormal termination due to an unhandled signal. + + The `gmon.out' file is written in the program's _current working +directory_ at the time it exits. This means that if your program calls +`chdir', the `gmon.out' file will be left in the last directory your +program `chdir''d to. If you don't have permission to write in this +directory, the file is not written, and you will get an error message. + + Older versions of the GNU profiling library may also write a file +called `bb.out'. This file, if present, contains an human-readable +listing of the basic-block execution counts. Unfortunately, the +appearance of a human-readable `bb.out' means the basic-block counts +didn't get written into `gmon.out'. The Perl script `bbconv.pl', +included with the `gprof' source distribution, will convert a `bb.out' +file into a format readable by `gprof'. Invoke it like this: + + bbconv.pl < bb.out > BH-DATA + + This translates the information in `bb.out' into a form that `gprof' +can understand. But you still need to tell `gprof' about the existence +of this translated information. To do that, include BB-DATA on the +`gprof' command line, _along with `gmon.out'_, like this: + + gprof OPTIONS EXECUTABLE-FILE gmon.out BB-DATA [YET-MORE-PROFILE-DATA-FILES...] [> OUTFILE] + + +File: gprof.info, Node: Invoking, Next: Output, Prev: Executing, Up: Top + +4 `gprof' Command Summary +************************* + +After you have a profile data file `gmon.out', you can run `gprof' to +interpret the information in it. The `gprof' program prints a flat +profile and a call graph on standard output. Typically you would +redirect the output of `gprof' into a file with `>'. + + You run `gprof' like this: + + gprof OPTIONS [EXECUTABLE-FILE [PROFILE-DATA-FILES...]] [> OUTFILE] + +Here square-brackets indicate optional arguments. + + If you omit the executable file name, the file `a.out' is used. If +you give no profile data file name, the file `gmon.out' is used. If +any file is not in the proper format, or if the profile data file does +not appear to belong to the executable file, an error message is +printed. + + You can give more than one profile data file by entering all their +names after the executable file name; then the statistics in all the +data files are summed together. + + The order of these options does not matter. + +* Menu: + +* Output Options:: Controlling `gprof''s output style +* Analysis Options:: Controlling how `gprof' analyzes its data +* Miscellaneous Options:: +* Deprecated Options:: Options you no longer need to use, but which + have been retained for compatibility +* Symspecs:: Specifying functions to include or exclude + + +File: gprof.info, Node: Output Options, Next: Analysis Options, Up: Invoking + +4.1 Output Options +================== + +These options specify which of several output formats `gprof' should +produce. + + Many of these options take an optional "symspec" to specify +functions to be included or excluded. These options can be specified +multiple times, with different symspecs, to include or exclude sets of +symbols. *Note Symspecs: Symspecs. + + Specifying any of these options overrides the default (`-p -q'), +which prints a flat profile and call graph analysis for all functions. + +`-A[SYMSPEC]' +`--annotated-source[=SYMSPEC]' + The `-A' option causes `gprof' to print annotated source code. If + SYMSPEC is specified, print output only for matching symbols. + *Note The Annotated Source Listing: Annotated Source. + +`-b' +`--brief' + If the `-b' option is given, `gprof' doesn't print the verbose + blurbs that try to explain the meaning of all of the fields in the + tables. This is useful if you intend to print out the output, or + are tired of seeing the blurbs. + +`-C[SYMSPEC]' +`--exec-counts[=SYMSPEC]' + The `-C' option causes `gprof' to print a tally of functions and + the number of times each was called. If SYMSPEC is specified, + print tally only for matching symbols. + + If the profile data file contains basic-block count records, + specifying the `-l' option, along with `-C', will cause basic-block + execution counts to be tallied and displayed. + +`-i' +`--file-info' + The `-i' option causes `gprof' to display summary information + about the profile data file(s) and then exit. The number of + histogram, call graph, and basic-block count records is displayed. + +`-I DIRS' +`--directory-path=DIRS' + The `-I' option specifies a list of search directories in which to + find source files. Environment variable GPROF_PATH can also be + used to convey this information. Used mostly for annotated source + output. + +`-J[SYMSPEC]' +`--no-annotated-source[=SYMSPEC]' + The `-J' option causes `gprof' not to print annotated source code. + If SYMSPEC is specified, `gprof' prints annotated source, but + excludes matching symbols. + +`-L' +`--print-path' + Normally, source filenames are printed with the path component + suppressed. The `-L' option causes `gprof' to print the full + pathname of source filenames, which is determined from symbolic + debugging information in the image file and is relative to the + directory in which the compiler was invoked. + +`-p[SYMSPEC]' +`--flat-profile[=SYMSPEC]' + The `-p' option causes `gprof' to print a flat profile. If + SYMSPEC is specified, print flat profile only for matching symbols. + *Note The Flat Profile: Flat Profile. + +`-P[SYMSPEC]' +`--no-flat-profile[=SYMSPEC]' + The `-P' option causes `gprof' to suppress printing a flat profile. + If SYMSPEC is specified, `gprof' prints a flat profile, but + excludes matching symbols. + +`-q[SYMSPEC]' +`--graph[=SYMSPEC]' + The `-q' option causes `gprof' to print the call graph analysis. + If SYMSPEC is specified, print call graph only for matching symbols + and their children. *Note The Call Graph: Call Graph. + +`-Q[SYMSPEC]' +`--no-graph[=SYMSPEC]' + The `-Q' option causes `gprof' to suppress printing the call graph. + If SYMSPEC is specified, `gprof' prints a call graph, but excludes + matching symbols. + +`-t' +`--table-length=NUM' + The `-t' option causes the NUM most active source lines in each + source file to be listed when source annotation is enabled. The + default is 10. + +`-y' +`--separate-files' + This option affects annotated source output only. Normally, + `gprof' prints annotated source files to standard-output. If this + option is specified, annotated source for a file named + `path/FILENAME' is generated in the file `FILENAME-ann'. If the + underlying file system would truncate `FILENAME-ann' so that it + overwrites the original `FILENAME', `gprof' generates annotated + source in the file `FILENAME.ann' instead (if the original file + name has an extension, that extension is _replaced_ with `.ann'). + +`-Z[SYMSPEC]' +`--no-exec-counts[=SYMSPEC]' + The `-Z' option causes `gprof' not to print a tally of functions + and the number of times each was called.

A cycle exists if a function calls another function +that (directly or indirectly) calls (or appears to call) the original +function. For example: if `a' calls `b', and `b' calls `a', then `a' +and `b' form a cycle. + + Whenever there are call paths both ways between a pair of functions, +they belong to the same cycle. If `a' and `b' call each other and `b' +and `c' call each other, all three make one cycle. Note that even if +`b' only calls `a' if it was not called from `a', `gprof' cannot +determine this, so `a' and `b' are still considered a cycle. + + The cycles are numbered with consecutive integers. When a function +belongs to a cycle, each time the function name appears in the call +graph it is followed by `<cycle NUMBER>'. + + The reason cycles matter is that they make the time values in the +call graph paradoxical. The "time spent in children" of `a' should +include the time spent in its subroutine `b' and in `b''s +subroutines--but one of `b''s subroutines is `a'! How much of `a''s +time should be included in the children of `a', when `a' is indirectly +recursive? + + The way `gprof' resolves this paradox is by creating a single entry +for the cycle as a whole. The primary line of this entry describes the +total time spent directly in the functions of the cycle.

The compiler may also generate additional basic-blocks to +handle various special cases. + + A program augmented for basic-block counting can be analyzed with +`gprof -l -A'.

If a function +runs only a small amount of time, so that on the average the sampling +process ought to catch that function in the act only once, there is a +pretty good chance it will actually find that function zero times, or +twice. + + By contrast, the number-of-calls and basic-block figures are derived +by counting, not sampling. They are completely accurate and will not +vary from run to run if your program is deterministic and single +threaded. In multi-threaded applications, or single threaded +applications that link with multi-threaded libraries, the counts are +only deterministic if the counting function is thread-safe. (Note: +beware that the mcount counting function in glibc is _not_ +thread-safe). *Note Implementation of Profiling: Implementation. + + The "sampling period" that is printed at the beginning of the flat +profile says how often samples are taken. The rule of thumb is that a +run-time figure is accurate if it is considerably bigger than the +sampling period. + + The actual amount of error can be predicted. For N samples, the +_expected_ error is the square-root of N. For example, if the sampling +period is 0.01 seconds and `foo''s run-time is 1 second, N is 100 +samples (1 second/0.01 seconds), sqrt(N) is 10 samples, so the expected +error in `foo''s run-time is 0.1 seconds (10*0.01 seconds), or ten +percent of the observed value. Again, if the sampling period is 0.01 +seconds and `bar''s run-time is 100 seconds, N is 10000 samples, +sqrt(N) is 100 samples, so the expected error in `bar''s run-time is 1 +second, or one percent of the observed value. It is likely to vary +this much _on the average_ from one profiling run to the next. +(_Sometimes_ it will vary more.) + + This does not mean that a small run-time figure is devoid of +information. If the program's _total_ run-time is large, a small +run-time for one function does tell you that that function used an +insignificant fraction of the whole program's time. Usually this means +it is not worth optimizing. + + One way to get more accuracy is to give your program more (but +similar) input data so it will take longer. Another way is to combine +the data from several runs, using the `-s' option of `gprof'. Here is +how: + + 1. Run your program once. + + 2. Issue the command `mv gmon.out gmon.sum'. + + 3.

Instead, `gprof' estimates them by making an +assumption about your program that might or might not be true. + + The assumption made is that the average time spent in each call to +any function `foo' is not correlated with who called `foo'. If `foo' +used 5 seconds in all, and 2/5 of the calls to `foo' came from `a', +then `foo' contributes 2 seconds to `a''s `children' time, by +assumption. + + This assumption is usually true enough, but for some programs it is +far from true. Suppose that `foo' returns very quickly when its +argument is zero; suppose that `a' always passes zero as an argument, +while other callers of `foo' pass other arguments. In this program, +all the time spent in `foo' is in the calls from callers other than `a'. +But `gprof' has no way of knowing this; it will blindly and incorrectly +charge 2 seconds of time in `foo' to the children of `a'. + + We hope some day to put more complete data into `gmon.out', so that +this assumption is no longer needed, if we can figure out how.

From this, the profiler can figure out +what function called it, and can count how many times it was called. +This change is made by the compiler when your program is compiled with +the `-pg' option, which causes every function to call `mcount' (or +`_mcount', or `__mcount', depending on the OS and compiler) as one of +its first operations. + + The `mcount' routine, included in the profiling library, is +responsible for recording in an in-memory call graph table both its +parent routine (the child) and its parent's parent. This is typically +done by examining the stack frame to find both the address of the +child, and the return address in the original parent. Since this is a +very machine-dependent operation, `mcount' itself is typically a short +assembly-language stub routine that extracts the required information, +and then calls `__mcount_internal' (a normal C function) with two +arguments--`frompc' and `selfpc'. `__mcount_internal' is responsible +for maintaining the in-memory call graph, which records `frompc', +`selfpc', and the number of times each of these call arcs was traversed. + + GCC Version 2 provides a magical function +(`__builtin_return_address'), which allows a generic `mcount' function +to extract the required information from the stack frame. However, on +some architectures, most notably the SPARC, using this builtin can be +very computationally expensive, and an assembly language version of +`mcount' is used for performance reasons. + + Number-of-calls information for library routines is collected by +using a special version of the C library. The programs in it are the +same as in the usual C library, but they were compiled with `-pg'. If +you link your program with `gcc ... -pg', it automatically uses the +profiling version of the library. + + Profiling also involves watching your program as it runs, and +keeping a histogram of where the program counter happens to be every +now and then. Typically the program counter is looked at around 100 +times per second of run time, but the exact frequency may vary from +system to system. + + This is done is one of two ways. Most UNIX-like operating systems +provide a `profil()' system call, which registers a memory array with +the kernel, along with a scale factor that determines how the program's +address space maps into the array. Typical scaling values cause every +2 to 8 bytes of address space to map into a single array slot. On +every tick of the system clock (assuming the profiled program is +running), the value of the program counter is examined and the +corresponding slot in the memory array is incremented. Since this is +done in the kernel, which had to interrupt the process anyway to handle +the clock interrupt, very little additional system overhead is required. + + However, some operating systems, most notably Linux 2.0 (and +earlier), do not provide a `profil()' system call. On such a system, +arrangements are made for the kernel to periodically deliver a signal +to the process (typically via `setitimer()'), which then performs the +same operation of examining the program counter and incrementing a slot +in the memory array. Since this method requires a signal to be +delivered to user space every time a sample is taken, it uses +considerably more overhead than kernel-based profiling. Also, due to +the added delay required to deliver the signal, this method is less +accurate as well. + + A special startup routine allocates memory for the histogram and +either calls `profil()' or sets up a clock signal handler. This +routine (`monstartup') can be invoked in several ways. On Linux +systems, a special profiling startup file `gcrt0.o', which invokes +`monstartup' before `main', is used instead of the default `crt0.o'. +Use of this special startup file is one of the effects of using `gcc +... -pg' to link. On SPARC systems, no special startup files are used. +Rather, the `mcount' routine, when it is invoked for the first time +(typically when `main' is called), calls `monstartup'. + + If the compiler's `-a' option was used, basic-block counting is also +enabled. Each object file is then compiled with a static array of +counts, initially zero. In the executable code, every time a new +basic-block begins (i.e., when an `if' statement appears), an extra +instruction is inserted to increment the corresponding count in the +array. At compile time, a paired array was constructed that recorded +the starting address of each basic-block. Taken together, the two +arrays record the starting address of every basic-block, along with the +number of times it was executed. + + The profiling library also includes a function (`mcleanup') which is +typically registered using `atexit()' to be called as the program +exits, and is responsible for writing the file `gmon.out'. Profiling +is turned off, various headers are output, and the histogram is +written, followed by the call-graph arcs and the basic-block counts. + + The output from `gprof' gives no indication of parts of your program +that are limited by I/O or swapping bandwidth. This is because samples +of the program counter are taken at fixed intervals of the program's +run time. Therefore, the time measurements in `gprof' output say +nothing about time that your program was not running. For example, a +part of the program that creates so much data that it cannot all fit in +physical memory at once may run very slowly due to thrashing, but +`gprof' will say it uses little time. On the other hand, sampling by +run time has the advantage that the amount of load due to other users +won't directly affect the output you get. + + +File: gprof.info, Node: File Format, Next: Internals, Prev: Implementation, Up: Details + +9.2 Profiling Data File Format +============================== + +The old BSD-derived file format used for profile data does not contain a +magic cookie that allows to check whether a data file really is a +`gprof' file. Furthermore, it does not provide a version number, thus +rendering changes to the file format almost impossible. GNU `gprof' +uses a new file format that provides these features. For backward +compatibility, GNU `gprof' continues to support the old BSD-derived +format, but not all features are supported with it. For example, +basic-block execution counts cannot be accommodated by the old file +format. + + The new file format is defined in header file `gmon_out.h'. It +consists of a header containing the magic cookie and a version number, +as well as some spare bytes available for future extensions. All data +in a profile data file is in the native format of the target for which +the profile was collected. GNU `gprof' adapts automatically to the +byte-order in use. + + In the new file format, the header is followed by a sequence of +records. Currently, there are three different record types: histogram +records, call-graph arc records, and basic-block execution count +records. Each file can contain any number of each record type. When +reading a file, GNU `gprof' will ensure records of the same type are +compatible with each other and compute the union of all records. For +example, for basic-block execution counts, the union is simply the sum +of all execution counts for each basic-block. + +9.2.1 Histogram Records +----------------------- + +Histogram records consist of a header that is followed by an array of +bins. The header contains the text-segment range that the histogram +spans, the size of the histogram in bytes (unlike in the old BSD +format, this does not include the size of the header), the rate of the +profiling clock, and the physical dimension that the bin counts +represent after being scaled by the profiling clock rate. The physical +dimension is specified in two parts: a long name of up to 15 characters +and a single character abbreviation. For example, a histogram +representing real-time would specify the long name as "seconds" and the +abbreviation as "s". This feature is useful for architectures that +support performance monitor hardware (which, fortunately, is becoming +increasingly common). For example, under DEC OSF/1, the "uprofile" +command can be used to produce a histogram of, say, instruction cache +misses. In this case, the dimension in the histogram header could be +set to "i-cache misses" and the abbreviation could be set to "1" +(because it is simply a count, not a physical dimension). Also, the +profiling rate would have to be set to 1 in this case. + + Histogram bins are 16-bit numbers and each bin represent an equal +amount of text-space. For example, if the text-segment is one thousand +bytes long and if there are ten bins in the histogram, each bin +represents one hundred bytes. + +9.2.2 Call-Graph Records +------------------------ + +Call-graph records have a format that is identical to the one used in +the BSD-derived file format. It consists of an arc in the call graph +and a count indicating the number of times the arc was traversed during +program execution. Arcs are specified by a pair of addresses: the +first must be within caller's function and the second must be within +the callee's function. When performing profiling at the function +level, these addresses can point anywhere within the respective +function. However, when profiling at the line-level, it is better if +the addresses are as close to the call-site/entry-point as possible. +This will ensure that the line-level call-graph is able to identify +exactly which line of source code performed calls to a function. + +9.2.3 Basic-Block Execution Count Records +----------------------------------------- + +Basic-block execution count records consist of a header followed by a +sequence of address/count pairs. The header simply specifies the +length of the sequence. In an address/count pair, the address +identifies a basic-block and the count specifies the number of times +that basic-block was executed. Any address within the basic-address can +be used. + + +File: gprof.info, Node: Internals, Next: Debugging, Prev: File Format, Up: Details + +9.3 `gprof''s Internal Operation +================================ + +Like most programs, `gprof' begins by processing its options. During +this stage, it may building its symspec list (`sym_ids.c:sym_id_add'), +if options are specified which use symspecs. `gprof' maintains a +single linked list of symspecs, which will eventually get turned into +12 symbol tables, organized into six include/exclude pairs--one pair +each for the flat profile (INCL_FLAT/EXCL_FLAT), the call graph arcs +(INCL_ARCS/EXCL_ARCS), printing in the call graph +(INCL_GRAPH/EXCL_GRAPH), timing propagation in the call graph +(INCL_TIME/EXCL_TIME), the annotated source listing +(INCL_ANNO/EXCL_ANNO), and the execution count listing +(INCL_EXEC/EXCL_EXEC). + + After option processing, `gprof' finishes building the symspec list +by adding all the symspecs in `default_excluded_list' to the exclude +lists EXCL_TIME and EXCL_GRAPH, and if line-by-line profiling is +specified, EXCL_FLAT as well. These default excludes are not added to +EXCL_ANNO, EXCL_ARCS, and EXCL_EXEC. + + Next, the BFD library is called to open the object file, verify that +it is an object file, and read its symbol table (`core.c:core_init'), +using `bfd_canonicalize_symtab' after mallocing an appropriately sized +array of symbols. At this point, function mappings are read (if the +`--file-ordering' option has been specified), and the core text space +is read into memory (if the `-c' option was given). + + `gprof''s own symbol table, an array of Sym structures, is now built. +This is done in one of two ways, by one of two routines, depending on +whether line-by-line profiling (`-l' option) has been enabled. For +normal profiling, the BFD canonical symbol table is scanned. For +line-by-line profiling, every text space address is examined, and a new +symbol table entry gets created every time the line number changes. In +either case, two passes are made through the symbol table--one to count +the size of the symbol table required, and the other to actually read +the symbols. In between the two passes, a single array of type `Sym' +is created of the appropriate length. Finally, +`symtab.c:symtab_finalize' is called to sort the symbol table and +remove duplicate entries (entries with the same memory address). + + The symbol table must be a contiguous array for two reasons. First, +the `qsort' library function (which sorts an array) will be used to +sort the symbol table. Also, the symbol lookup routine +(`symtab.c:sym_lookup'), which finds symbols based on memory address, +uses a binary search algorithm which requires the symbol table to be a +sorted array. Function symbols are indicated with an `is_func' flag. +Line number symbols have no special flags set. Additionally, a symbol +can have an `is_static' flag to indicate that it is a local symbol. + + With the symbol table read, the symspecs can now be translated into +Syms (`sym_ids.c:sym_id_parse'). Remember that a single symspec can +match multiple symbols. An array of symbol tables (`syms') is created, +each entry of which is a symbol table of Syms to be included or +excluded from a particular listing. The master symbol table and the +symspecs are examined by nested loops, and every symbol that matches a +symspec is inserted into the appropriate syms table. This is done +twice, once to count the size of each required symbol table, and again +to build the tables, which have been malloced between passes. From now +on, to determine whether a symbol is on an include or exclude symspec +list, `gprof' simply uses its standard symbol lookup routine on the +appropriate table in the `syms' array. + + Now the profile data file(s) themselves are read +(`gmon_io.c:gmon_out_read'), first by checking for a new-style +`gmon.out' header, then assuming this is an old-style BSD `gmon.out' if +the magic number test failed. + + New-style histogram records are read by `hist.c:hist_read_rec'. For +the first histogram record, allocate a memory array to hold all the +bins, and read them in. When multiple profile data files (or files +with multiple histogram records) are read, the memory ranges of each +pair of histogram records must be either equal, or non-overlapping. +For each pair of histogram records, the resolution (memory region size +divided by the number of bins) must be the same. The time unit must be +the same for all histogram records. If the above containts are met, all +histograms for the same memory range are merged. + + As each call graph record is read (`call_graph.c:cg_read_rec'), the +parent and child addresses are matched to symbol table entries, and a +call graph arc is created by `cg_arcs.c:arc_add', unless the arc fails +a symspec check against INCL_ARCS/EXCL_ARCS. As each arc is added, a +linked list is maintained of the parent's child arcs, and of the child's +parent arcs. Both the child's call count and the arc's call count are +incremented by the record's call count. + + Basic-block records are read (`basic_blocks.c:bb_read_rec'), but +only if line-by-line profiling has been selected. Each basic-block +address is matched to a corresponding line symbol in the symbol table, +and an entry made in the symbol's bb_addr and bb_calls arrays. Again, +if multiple basic-block records are present for the same address, the +call counts are cumulative. + + A gmon.sum file is dumped, if requested (`gmon_io.c:gmon_out_write'). + + If histograms were present in the data files, assign them to symbols +(`hist.c:hist_assign_samples') by iterating over all the sample bins +and assigning them to symbols. Since the symbol table is sorted in +order of ascending memory addresses, we can simple follow along in the +symbol table as we make our pass over the sample bins. This step +includes a symspec check against INCL_FLAT/EXCL_FLAT. Depending on the +histogram scale factor, a sample bin may span multiple symbols, in +which case a fraction of the sample count is allocated to each symbol, +proportional to the degree of overlap. This effect is rare for normal +profiling, but overlaps are more common during line-by-line profiling, +and can cause each of two adjacent lines to be credited with half a +hit, for example. + + If call graph data is present, `cg_arcs.c:cg_assemble' is called. +First, if `-c' was specified, a machine-dependent routine (`find_call') +scans through each symbol's machine code, looking for subroutine call +instructions, and adding them to the call graph with a zero call count. +A topological sort is performed by depth-first numbering all the +symbols (`cg_dfn.c:cg_dfn'), so that children are always numbered less +than their parents, then making a array of pointers into the symbol +table and sorting it into numerical order, which is reverse topological +order (children appear before parents). Cycles are also detected at +this point, all members of which are assigned the same topological +number. Two passes are now made through this sorted array of symbol +pointers. The first pass, from end to beginning (parents to children), +computes the fraction of child time to propagate to each parent and a +print flag. The print flag reflects symspec handling of +INCL_GRAPH/EXCL_GRAPH, with a parent's include or exclude (print or no +print) property being propagated to its children, unless they +themselves explicitly appear in INCL_GRAPH or EXCL_GRAPH. A second +pass, from beginning to end (children to parents) actually propagates +the timings along the call graph, subject to a check against +INCL_TIME/EXCL_TIME. With the print flag, fractions, and timings now +stored in the symbol structures, the topological sort array is now +discarded, and a new array of pointers is assembled, this time sorted +by propagated time. + + Finally, print the various outputs the user requested, which is now +fairly straightforward. The call graph (`cg_print.c:cg_print') and +flat profile (`hist.c:hist_print') are regurgitations of values already +computed. The annotated source listing +(`basic_blocks.c:print_annotated_source') uses basic-block information, +if present, to label each line of code with call counts, otherwise only +the function call counts are presented. + + The function ordering code is marginally well documented in the +source code itself (`cg_print.c'). Basically, the functions with the +most use and the most parents are placed first, followed by other +functions with the most use, followed by lower use functions, followed +by unused functions at the end. + + +File: gprof.info, Node: Debugging, Prev: Internals, Up: Details + +9.4 Debugging `gprof' +===================== + +If `gprof' was compiled with debugging enabled, the `-d' option +triggers debugging output (to stdout) which can be helpful in +understanding its operation.

But this License is not limited to + software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless + of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. + We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is + instruction or reference. + + 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS + + This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, + that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it + can be distributed under the terms of this License.

You + accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a + way requiring permission under copyright law. + + A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the + Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with + modifications and/or translated into another language. + + A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section + of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the + publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall + subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could + fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document + is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not + explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of + historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or + of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position + regarding them. + + The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose + titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in + the notice that says that the Document is released under this + License. If a section does not fit the above definition of + Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. + The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document + does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none. + + The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are + listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice + that says that the Document is released under this License. A + Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may + be at most 25 words. + + A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, + represented in a format whose specification is available to the + general public, that is suitable for revising the document + straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images + composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some + widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to + text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of + formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an + otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of + markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent + modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is + not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A + copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". + + Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain + ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, + SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and + standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for + human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include + PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that + can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or + XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally + available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF + produced by some word processors for output purposes only. + + The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, + plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the + material this License requires to appear in the title page. For + works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title + Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the + work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. + + The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies + of the Document to the public. + + A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document + whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses + following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ + stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as + "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) + To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the + Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according + to this definition. + + The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice + which states that this License applies to the Document. These + Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in + this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other + implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and + has no effect on the meaning of this License. + + 2. VERBATIM COPYING + + You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either + commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the + copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License + applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you + add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You + may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading + or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, + you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you + distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow + the conditions in section 3. + + You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, + and you may publicly display copies. + + 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY + + If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly + have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and + the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must + enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all + these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and + Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly + and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The + front cover must present the full title with all words of the + title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material + on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the + covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and + satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in + other respects. + + If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit + legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit + reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto + adjacent pages. + + If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document + numbering more than 100, you must either include a + machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or + state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from + which the general network-using public has access to download + using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent + copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the + latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you + begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that + this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated + location until at least one year after the last time you + distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or + retailers) of that edition to the public. + + It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of + the Document well before redistributing any large number of + copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated + version of the Document. + + 4. MODIFICATIONS + + You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document + under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you + release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with + the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus + licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to + whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these + things in the Modified Version: + + A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title + distinct from that of the Document, and from those of + previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed + in the History section of the Document). You may use the + same title as a previous version if the original publisher of + that version gives permission. + + B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or + entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in + the Modified Version, together with at least five of the + principal authors of the Document (all of its principal + authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you + from this requirement. + + C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the + Modified Version, as the publisher. + + D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. + + E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications + adjacent to the other copyright notices. + + F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license + notice giving the public permission to use the Modified + Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in + the Addendum below. + + G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant + Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's + license notice. + + H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. + + I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, + and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new + authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on + the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in + the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, + and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, + then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in + the previous sentence. + + J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document + for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and + likewise the network locations given in the Document for + previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in + the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a + work that was published at least four years before the + Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version + it refers to gives permission. + + K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", + Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the + section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor + acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. + + L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, + unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers + or the equivalent are not considered part of the section + titles. + + M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section + may not be included in the Modified Version. + + N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled + "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant + Section. + + O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. + + If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or + appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no + material copied from the Document, you may at your option + designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, + add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified + Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any + other section titles. + + You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains + nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various + parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text + has been approved by an organization as the authoritative + definition of a standard. + + You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, + and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end + of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one + passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be + added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the + Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, + previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity + you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may + replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous + publisher that added the old one. + + The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this + License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to + assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. + + 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS + + You may combine the Document with other documents released under + this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for + modified versions, provided that you include in the combination + all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, + unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your + combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all + their Warranty Disclaimers. + + The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and + multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single + copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name + but different contents, make the title of each such section unique + by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the + original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a + unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in + the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the + combined work. + + In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled + "History" in the various original documents, forming one section + Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled + "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You + must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements." + + 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS + + You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other + documents released under this License, and replace the individual + copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy + that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the + rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the + documents in all other respects. + + You may extract a single document from such a collection, and + distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert + a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow + this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of + that document. + + 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS + + A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other + separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of + a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the + copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the + legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual + works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this + License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which + are not themselves derivative works of the Document. + + If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these + copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half + of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed + on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the + electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic + form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket + the whole aggregate. + + 8. TRANSLATION + + Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may + distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section + 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special + permission from their copyright holders, but you may include + translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the + original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a + translation of this License, and all the license notices in the + Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also + include the original English version of this License and the + original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a + disagreement between the translation and the original version of + this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will + prevail. + + If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", + "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to + Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the + actual title. + + 9. TERMINATION + + You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document + except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt + otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, + and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. + + However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your + license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) + provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly + and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the + copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some + reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. + + Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is + reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the + violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have + received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from + that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days + after your receipt of the notice. + + Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate + the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from + you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and + not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of + the same material does not give you any rights to use it. + + 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE + + The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of + the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new + versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may + differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See + `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'. + + Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version + number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered + version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you + have the option of following the terms and conditions either of + that specified version or of any later version that has been + published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If + the Document does not specify a version number of this License, + you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the + Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy + can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that + proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently + authorizes you to choose that version for the Document. + + 11.
