Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: add '--demangle'/'--no-demangle'
Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:04:24 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382947464-31266-1-git-send-email-a3at.mail@gmail.com> (raw)
You can't pass demangled name into "perf probe", because of special chars:
./perf probe -f -x /tmp/a.out 'foo(int)'
Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number.
And you can't even pass without demangling (because it search symbol in
DSO with demangle=true):
./perf probe -f -x /tmp/a.out _Z3fooi
no symbols found in /tmp/a.out, maybe install a debug package?
However:
nm /tmp/a.out | grep foo
000000000040056d T _Z3fooi
After this patch, using the next command:
./perf probe -f --no-demangle -x /tmp/a.out _Z3fooi
probe will be successfully added.
