These options have been replaced with newer versions that use symspecs.
-e function_name
-e function
' option tells gprof
to not print
information about the function function_name (and its
children...) in the call graph. The function will still be listed
as a child of any functions that call it, but its index number will be
shown as `[not printed]
'. More than one `-e
' option may be
given; only one function_name may be indicated with each `-e
'
option.
-E function_name
-E function
option works like the -e
option, but
time spent in the function (and children who were not called from
anywhere else), will not be used to compute the percentages-of-time for
the call graph. More than one `-E
' option may be given; only one
function_name may be indicated with each `-E
' option.
-f function_name
-f function
' option causes gprof
to limit the
call graph to the function function_name and its children (and
their children...). More than one `-f
' option may be given;
only one function_name may be indicated with each `-f
'
option.
-F function_name
-F function
' option works like the -f
option, but
only time spent in the function and its children (and their
children...) will be used to determine total-time and
percentages-of-time for the call graph. More than one `-F
' option
may be given; only one function_name may be indicated with each
`-F
' option. The `-F
' option overrides the `-E
' option.
Note that only one function can be specified with each -e
,
-E
, -f
or -F
option. To specify more than one
function, use multiple options. For example, this command:
gprof -e boring -f foo -f bar myprogram > gprof.output
lists in the call graph all functions that were reached from either
foo
or bar
and were not reachable from boring
.
