CG_ANNOTATE(1)
NAME
cg_annotate - post-processing tool for Cachegrind
SYNOPSIS
cg_annotate [options] cachegrind-out-file [source-files...]
DESCRIPTION
cg_annotate takes an output file produced by the Valgrind tool
Cachegrind and prints the information in an easy-to-read form.
OPTIONS
- -h --help
- Show the help message.
- --version
- Show the version number.
- --show=A,B,C [default: all, using order in cachegrind.out.<pid>]
- Specifies which events to show (and the column order). Default is
to use all present in the cachegrind.out.<pid> file (and use the
order in the file). Useful if you want to concentrate on, for
example, I cache misses (--show=I1mr,I2mr), or data read misses (--show=D1mr,D2mr), or L2 data misses (--show=D2mr,D2mw). Best used in conjunction with --sort. - --sort=A,B,C [default: order in cachegrind.out.<pid>]
- Specifies the events upon which the sorting of the
function-by-function entries will be based. - --threshold=X [default: 0.1%]
- Sets the threshold for the function-by-function summary. A function
is shown if it accounts for more than X% of the counts for the
primary sort event. If auto-annotating, also affects which files
are annotated. - Note: thresholds can be set for more than one of the events by
appending any events for the --sort option with a colon and a number (no spaces, though). E.g. if you want to see each function
that covers more than 1% of L2 read misses or 1% of L2 write
misses, use this option: - --sort=D2mr:1,D2mw:1
- --auto=<no|yes> [default: no]
- When enabled, automatically annotates every file that is mentioned in the function-by-function summary that can be found. Also gives a list of those that couldn't be found.
- --context=N [default: 8]
- Print N lines of context before and after each annotated line.
Avoids printing large sections of source files that were not
executed. Use a large number (e.g. 100000) to show all source
lines. - -I<dir> --include=<dir> [default: none]
- Adds a directory to the list in which to search for files. Multiple -I/--include options can be given to add multiple directories.
