| <h3 class="section">4.4 Deprecated Options</h3> |
| |
| <p>These options have been replaced with newer versions that use symspecs. |
| </p> |
| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt><code>-e <var>function_name</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>The ‘<samp>-e <var>function</var></samp>’ option tells <code>gprof</code> to not print |
| information about the function <var>function_name</var> (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 ‘<samp>[not printed]</samp>’. More than one ‘<samp>-e</samp>’ option may be |
| given; only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each ‘<samp>-e</samp>’ |
| option. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>-E <var>function_name</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>The <code>-E <var>function</var></code> option works like the <code>-e</code> 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 ‘<samp>-E</samp>’ option may be given; only one |
| <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each ‘<samp>-E</samp>’ option. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>-f <var>function_name</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>The ‘<samp>-f <var>function</var></samp>’ option causes <code>gprof</code> to limit the |
| call graph to the function <var>function_name</var> and its children (and |
| their children…). More than one ‘<samp>-f</samp>’ option may be given; |
| only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each ‘<samp>-f</samp>’ |
| option. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>-F <var>function_name</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>The ‘<samp>-F <var>function</var></samp>’ option works like the <code>-f</code> 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 ‘<samp>-F</samp>’ option |
| may be given; only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each |
| ‘<samp>-F</samp>’ option. The ‘<samp>-F</samp>’ option overrides the ‘<samp>-E</samp>’ option. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| |
| <p>Note that only one function can be specified with each <code>-e</code>, |
| <code>-E</code>, <code>-f</code> or <code>-F</code> option. To specify more than one |
| function, use multiple options. For example, this command: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example">gprof -e boring -f foo -f bar myprogram > gprof.output |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>lists in the call graph all functions that were reached from either |
| <code>foo</code> or <code>bar</code> and were not reachable from <code>boring</code>. |
