Subject: perf-probe : error "Rebuild with -g, or install an appropriate debuginfo package"
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2016 14:49:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABvthiqmUuGqcDU6LQRJhsPiic4-qePRx8wJtMoj+D+ihjAVdg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I compiled myApp.cpp (that contains a function named myFunction) with:
~>mpic++ -O2 -ggdb -fno-omit-frame-pointer -o myApp myApp.cpp

When I try to probe a function from the myApp binary, I get:
~> sudo perf probe --exe ./myApp --add "myFunction:2"
The /home/path/to/myApp file has no debug information.
Rebuild with -g, or install an appropriate debuginfo package.
  Error: Failed to add events.

... -g has been set a t compile time and libelf (and libelf-dev) seems
to be installed:
~> dpkg -l *elf*

I googled that without any relevant answer... Could somebody help me
on this ? What's wrong ?

Franck

PS : When I do that
~>sudo perf probe --exe ./myApp --add "myFunction"
Added new event:
  probe_myApp:myFunction (on myFunction in /home/path/to/myApp)

It works !?... I need to place the tracepoint at the second line below
the entry of myFunction => replacing "myFunction" with "myFunction:2"
does not work ! Why ?...
