219
220 * Makefile.in (.m.c): Strip out directory name from function
221 name.
222
223 * hist.c (scale_and_align_entries): Don't use DEFUN_VOID. Do
224 UNITS_TO_CODE adjustment unconditionally; compiler can optimize
225 away zero-offset case. Refer to scaled_addr, not aligned_addr.
226
227 * vax.c: Don't include vax.h here.
228
229 Thu Nov 16 03:41:37 1995 Ken Raeburn <raeburn@cygnus.com>

282 * ns532.h: Remove dummy.h comments.
283
284 Tue Aug 22 10:00:45 1995 Jeffrey A. Law <law@rtl.cygnus.com>
285
286 * Makefile.in (install): Remove "brokensed" hack, unnecessary now
287 that we're using autoconf.
288
289 Wed Jul 19 18:46:13 1995 Fred Fish <fnf@cygnus.com>
290
291 * core.c (get_src_info): Cast arg 7 of bfd_find_nearest_line
292 to proper type of "unsigned int *".
293

295
296 * configure.in: Use changequote around use of [].

312
313 Thu Apr 20 17:29:07 1995 Ken Raeburn <raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com>
314
315 * Makefile.in: Change all references to MY_MACHINE to MY_TARGET,
316 to match configure script.
317
318 Wed Apr 19 11:19:37 1995 J.T. Conklin <jtc@rtl.cygnus.com>
319

327
328 Mon Mar 13 21:44:24 1995 Ken Raeburn <raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com>
329
330 * __bb_exit_func.c: New file, from David Mosberger-Tang.
331
332 Thu Feb 9 16:56:07 1995 David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu>
333
334 * All *.c: More cleanup towards GNU format.
335
336 * gmon_out.h (struct gmon_hist_hdr, struct gmon_cg_arc_record):
337 replaced sizeof (bfd_vma) by size (char*) because Ken tells me
338 that bfd_vma is only guaranteed to be at least as big as a pointer.
339
340 (GMON_Record_tag): added explicit enumeration values to ensure
341 compatibility across compilers.
342
343 * gmon_io.c (get_vma, put_vma): replaced sizeof(bfd_vma) by
344 sizeof(char*).
345
346 Tue Feb 7 17:24:12 1995 Ken Raeburn <raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com>
347
348 * All *.c and *.h files: Ran "indent -gnu". Cleaned up a couple
349 of constructs GNU indent couldn't handle. Block comments not yet
350 rewritten in GNU format.
351
352 * gprof.c (VERSION): Changed to 2.6, to get in sync for next
353 binutils release.
354
355 Sun Feb 5 16:19:46 1995 David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu>
356
357 * symtab.c (symtab_finalize): ensure globals symbols really
358 are favored over static ones---even if their name looks less
359 preferable; this is important for HP-UX; for example, there
360 is a static label Ltext_something that aliases the global
361 symbol _start
362
363 * hist.c (hist_print): auto-scaling is now in effect for FSF-style
364 output only; also, auto-scaling is now performed based on
365 per-call, rather than total execution time, which is what it was
366 meant to be.
367
368 * gprof.h (File_Format): new type.
369
370 * gprof.c (VERSION): upped to 2.7---seems to be completely out of
371 sync with Cygnus version numbers though...
372
373 (long_options): renamed --gmon-info to --file-info, --width added,
374 renamed --old-file-format to --file-format
375 (main): dito; also added support to read prof files, but as
376 mon_out_read() is not implemented, it's #ifdef'd out for now
377
378 (usage): update to reflect new options.
379
380 * gmon_io.c: replaced "old_file_format" by more general
381 "file_format" option
382
383 * gmon.h (struct raw_phdr): fixed declaration for OSF/1.
384
385 * core.c (core_sym_class): added back check for __gnu_compiled and
386 ___gnu_compiled for the benefit of systems without
387 bfd_find_nearest_line() support
388
389 (get_src_info): now the libbfd is fixed, invoke bfd_find_nearest_line()
390 with section-relative addresses
391
392 (core_create_function_syms): get_src_info() calls are currently
393 enabled for OSF/1 only. It appears to work allright for SunOS
394 4.1.x as well, but on SPARCs it gets painfully slow with the
395 current implementation of aout_32_find_nearest_line();
396 unfortunately, this means that static functions will not have their
397 filename printed in the call-graph function index; line-level
398 profiling should still work, but requires some patience
399
400 * cg_print.c (cg_print_index): sanitized printing of index when
401 using FSF-style output; in particular, output width is now controlled
402 via option --width and the function tries hard to keep columns
403 aligned even in the presence of (occasional) long names
404
405 * NOTES: a first shot at updating the documentation.
406
407 Wed Feb 1 19:07:44 1995 David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu>
408
409 * core.c (core_create_function_syms): fixed computation of min_vma
410 and max_vma.
411
412 * *.c: removed rcsid.
413
414 Tue Jan 31 16:18:18 1995 Ken Raeburn <raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com>
415
416 * Lots of changes from David Mosberger-Tang:
417
418 Tue Oct 25 19:20:14 1994 David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu>
419
420 * gprof.c (main): put parentheses around & within &&.
421
422 * basic_blocks.c (bb_read_rec): print warning message (once) when
423 ignoring basic-block execution counts.
424
425 * source.c (source_file_lookup_name): corrected second argument to
426 strcmp().
427
428 * hist.c (print_header): merged Fri Oct 21 18:58:02 1994 change by
429 Ken Raeburn <raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com> from binutils-2.5.1.
430
431 * gmon_io.c (gmon_out_read): the output stule STYLE_GMON_INFO is now
432 supported both for old and new (versioned) gmon.out files. Old
433 files are identified as version 0.
434
435 * gmon.h (struct raw_arc): count field is now sizeof(long) bytes
436 long (instead of 4) because that is what OSF/1 v3.0 uses.
437
438 * core.c: minor fixes and debugging info changes.
439
440 Sun Sep 11 18:47:47 1994 David Mosberger-Tang (davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu)
441
442 * core.c (core_init): if .text cannot be found, try $CODE$ (the
443 name of the text-section under HP-UX).
444
445 * hist.c (hist_assign_samples): fixed off-by-one bug: highpc
446 points one past the last sampling bin, so hist_scale should be
447 computed as "hist_scale /= hist_num_bins", not "hist_scale /=
448 hist_num_bins - 1".
449
450 * gmon_io.c, hist.c, hist.h: renamed hist_num_samples to
451 hist_num_bins.
452
453 * configure.in: added alpha-*-*) for per-target config.
454
455 * alpha.c, alpha.h: created.
456
457 * gprof.c (default_excluded_list): <locore>, <hicore> added.
458
459 * core.c (core_create_function_syms, core_create_line_syms):
460 explicitly keep two sentinels "<locore>" and "<hicore>" that catch
461 all addresses outside the text-space. Thus, sym_lookup(&symtab,
462 addr) continues to guarantee not to return 0 on any address. It
463 also avoids incorrectly crediting the first/last symbol in the
464 text-space.
465
466 * core.c (core_create_line_syms): always create function symbols
467 first, then merge in line symbols; this is so that if parts of the
468 program were compiled without -g, function-level symbols are
469 available still.
470
471 * utils.c (print_name_only): support for print_path added.
472
473 * symtab.c (cmp_addr): also use is_func flag in comparison.
474 (symtab_finalize): return immediately when table empty; now
475 more careful about getting rid of the right duplicate symbol.
476
477 * sparc.c (find_call): many fixes---this function was rather
478 botched in binutils-2.4 already; it should work again.
479
480 * source.c (source_file_lookup_path): PATH is now strdup'ed (it is
481 not good to rely on get_src_info() to return distinct string
482 pointers).
483
484 * search_list.c (search_list_append): added cast for xmalloc().
485
486 * hist.c: added explicit initialization to some of the global
487 variables; fixed SItab (scales were off by a factor of 10).
488
489 * hist.h: include of bfd.h added.
490
491 * gprof.c, gprof.h (print_path): added.
492
493 * gprof.h (MAX): fixed.
494
495 * gmon_out.h: renamed gmon_time_hist_hdr to gmon_hist_hdr.
496
497 * gmon_io.c: added some casts to (long) so we can always print as %lx
498
499 * core.c (core_get_text_space): fixed to make it work.
500
501 * cg_print.c (cg_print_index): added support for print_path option.
502
503 * cg_dfn.h (cg_dfn): wrap prototype in PARAMS().
504
505 * call_graph.c, gmon_io.c, hist.c: avoid taking address of array
506 as some compilers complain (e.g., DEC's OSF/1 compiler)
507
508 * basic_blocks.c, gmon_io.c, hist.c, source.c, sym_ids.c,
509 symtab.c: calls to memset() had 2nd and 3rd args reversed.
510
511 Sat Sep 10 21:53:13 1994 David Mosberger-Tang (davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu)
512
513 * gprof.c: added "_mcount" to default_excluded_list.
514 (main): if output_style==0 and there is either a histogram or a
515 call-graph, always generate flat and call-graph, no matter what
516 line_granularity is set to.
517
518 * source.c (source_file_lookup_name): if searching for sf->name
519 fails, try again with filename obtained after stripping off any
520 partial path from sf->name.
521
522 * gprof.h (SRCDEBUG): added.
523
524 * search_list.c (search_list_append): directories were added in wrong
525 order.
526
527 * reimplemented selection mechanism from ground up; it is now possible
528 to accurately control what gets included/excluded in each of the
529 output styles; a "symbol-specification" (spec) is the basic means
530 to select a set of symbols; a spec has the syntax:
531
532 spec == (FILENAME:(FUNCNAME|LINE_NUM) | NAME).
533 arc == spec/spec.
534
535 any of the terminal symbols can be empty, in which case they
536 match anything (wildcards). NAME is interpreted as a FILENAME
537 if it contains a dot (e.g., foo.c), as LINE_NUM if it starts
538 with a digit, and as FUNCNAME otherwise.
539
540 For example, to get a call-graph display that ignores arcs
541 from foo() to bar(), you'd say "--no-graph=foo/bar"; to
542 show only arcs into bar() (no matter what the caller),
543 you'd say "--graph=/bar"; and to get a call-graph without
544 any arc info, you'd say "--graph=/"; similarly, to
545 get a flat profile without mcount, you'd say "--no-flat=mcount"
546 and to get a flat profile that shows includes all functions
547 you'd say "--flat=""" (i.e., an empty spec)
548
549 * hist.c (hist_print): top_time wasn't initialized to 0.0.
550
551 Fri Sep 9 01:10:21 1994 David Mosberger-Tang (davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu)
552
553 * gmon_out.h: all headers now declared in terms of characters
554 to avoid getting into trouble with different compilers introducing
555 different amount of padding; the code already accessed the fields
556 through bfd functions, so that didn't have to change.
557
558 * hist.c (hist_read_rec, hist_write_rec): added support for
559 collection pc histograms measuring quantities other than time;
560 the histogram header now includes a field that specifies the
561 dimension of the quantity measured by the histogram bins
562 (normally, this is "seconds", but other meaningful dimensions
563 include such things as "I-cache misses", "instruction issue stalls"
564 etc.); there is also a field to specify a one-character
565 abbreviation for the dimension; in the case of time, this would
566 be 's'; in most other cases it probably would be '1' (not a physical
567 dimension).
568
569 Thu Sep 8 16:05:08 1994 David Mosberger-Tang (davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu)
570
571 * gprof.c, gmon_io.[ch]: BSD_COMPATIBLE is gone and new_file_version
572 has become old_file_version; gmon_io.c now always supports old-style
573 gmon.out files; it first tries to read gmon.out as a new version
574 file, if that fails, it tries to read it in the old format;
575 although not very likely, it is possible for gprof to mistake an
576 old-style file as a new one (the first 4 bytes would have to
577 be "gmon"---including the trailing '\0'); in that case, it is
578 necessary to specify --old-file-version
579
580 * gprof.h: removed dependency on SYSV; the code now always uses
581 strrchr(), memset(), and memcpy() and does not include either
582 of string.h or strings.h; this should make gprof compile on
583 any (Unix) system without configuration (per suggestion of
584 raeburn@cygnus.com)
585
586 * gprof.c (usage): fixed location of --new-file-format option.
587
588 * cg_arcs.c (propagate_flags): fixed typo in declaration.
589
590 * flat_bl.m: removed formfeed at end of file; the form-feed
591 is now printed cg_print.c only when necessary.
592
593 * major rewrite of gprof---too many changes to mention all of
594 them. new features:
595
596 + -l now requests profiling at the line level (as opposed
597 to function level); in this mode, gprof creates a "symbol"
598 (aka name-list entry) for each line of source code, instead
599 of one per function)
600
601 + support for a new gmon.out file format; the new format
602 consists of a header with a magic and a version number,
603 followed by a sequence of profile data; profile data
604 can any of: (a) PC histogram, (b) call-graph arcs, or
605 (c) basic-block execution counts; the version number makes
606 it possible to extend gmon.out in a backwards compatible
607 fashion
608
609 + support for tcov style annotated output: if the gmon.out file
610 contains basic-block execution counts, the user can request
611 the generation of annotated source files, much like Sun's
612 tcov used to do
613
614 + long options
615
616 + new scheme to suppress symbols that aren't function names
617 (e.g., avoids mistaking a goto label as a function)
618
619 + reorganized source code to make it more managable; as a
620 side effect, gprof now compiles cleanly with "gcc -Wall"
621
622 Thu Sep 1 15:46:49 1994 David Mosberger-Tang (davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu)
623
624 * gprof.c (funcsymbol): bfd_find_nearest_line() is now used as a
625 final cross-check to determine whether a static symbol should be
626 considered as a function-name.
627
628 Fri Aug 5 19:32:36 1994 David Mosberger-Tang (davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu)
629
630 * gmon_io.c (gmon_out_read): recognize "-" as the filename for
631 stdin; this is useful if you wanna keep gmon.out files compressed;
632 this way you can "gzcat" the compressed file into gprof.
633
634 * gprof.c: flag_min_count now initialized with 1 instead of 0.
635
636 * basic_blocks.c (bb_annotate_source): added support for creating
637 .tcov files when option flag_annotate_make_files is TRUE.
638 (annotate_with_count): all counts less than the minimum count
639 specified by -m are now annotated with hash-marks.
640
641 * gprof.c (main): -A is now followed by a string of option chars.
642
643 * basic_blocks.c (annotate_with_count): replaced b->count with
644 cnt.
645
646 * source.c: flag_annotate_source replaced by source_lock_map.
647
648 * source.h: source_lock_map added.
649
650 * gprof.c (main): new command-line syntax: -S simply specifies
651 which source-files user is interested in; -A requests annotated
652 source files and -AA requests that all lines in a source file
653 are annotated.
654
655 Thu Aug 4 23:27:03 1994 David Mosberger-Tang (davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu)
656
657 * basic_blocks.c (PATH_MAX): if undefined, define as 1024.
658
659 * sparc.c, i386.c, tahoe.c, vax.c: added include of "time_hist.h"
660 so s_lowpc etc. get declared.
661
662 * arcs.h (doarcs): created.
663
664 * arcs.c: reordered static functions such that they get defined
665 before use.
666
667 * gprof.c (main): added options:
668 -A: request annotation of all source lines (with -S)
669 -m: minimum execution count (with default basic-block display)
670 -N: force new file format (only if BSD_COMPATIBLE is defined)
671 -S: annotate source file
672 -t: set table length (with -S)
673
674 * Makefile (OBJS): added basic_blocks.o call_graph.o gmon_io.o
675 source.o time_hist.o
676
677 Fri Jul 1 15:23:50 1994 David Mosberger-Tang (davidm@piston.cs.arizona.edu)
678
679 * gprof.c (asgnsamples): computation of "pcl" and "pch" depended
680 on the fact being able to store a long in a double without loss of
681 precision; this does not hold on machines with 64 bit longs and 64
682 bit doubles.
683
684 Fri Oct 21 18:58:02 1994 Ken Raeburn <raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com>
685
686 * printgprof.c (flatprofheader): Always set totime to 1.0 if not
687 greater than 0.0. Suggested by Harold Assink
688 <carlo@sg.tn.tudelft.nl>.
689
690 Fri Sep 23 15:06:45 1994 Ken Raeburn <raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com>
691
692 * printgprof.c (printprof): Use free, not cfree.

698 decls extern to keep native HP compiler quiet.
699
700 Tue Aug 30 11:12:13 1994 Ian Lance Taylor (ian@sanguine.cygnus.com)
701
702 * gprof.c (funcsymbol): Ignore ___gnu_compiled as well as
703 __gnu_compiled, for the benefit of systems which add a leading
704 underscore.
705

711
712 * ns532.c, ns532.h: New Files. ns532 support.
713
714 * config/mt-ns532: New File. ns532 support.
715
716 * gprof.c: user register int i instead of defaulting the int.
717 Allows compilation with -Dregister= for debugging.
718
719 * configure.in: Add ns532 support.
720
721 Thu Jun 23 11:22:41 1994 Jeff Law (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)
722
723 * Makefile.in (gprof): Depend on $(LIBS).
724
725 Fri May 27 12:24:57 1994 Ken Raeburn (raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com)
726
727 From binutils-2.4 release:
728
729 Wed May 11 22:32:00 1994 DJ Delorie (dj@ctron.com)
730
731 * configure.bat: [new] build makefile from makefile.in (dos)
732 * hertz.c: allow static HERTZ (msdos needs it)
733 * gprof.c: allow target to select "r" or "rb" for fopen
734 * gprof.c: ignore __gnu_compiled symbols

736
737 Tue May 17 15:30:22 1994 E. Michael Smith (ems@cygnus.com)
738
739 * Makefile.in (.m.c:): Added .SUFFIXES : .m
740 so flat_bl.c would make from flat_bl.m file.
741
742 Thu May 5 19:23:24 1994 Ken Raeburn (raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com)
743
744 * Makefile.in (install-info): Check for gprof.info in build dir,
745 fall back to srcdir. Depend on it.
746
747 * gprof.h (TRUE, FALSE): Always use undef before defining them.
748
749 Mon Apr 4 23:47:30 1994 Jeffrey A. Law (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)
750

752 makes (osf1) in which the value of MACHINE can not be changed.
753 * config/*.mt: Changed appropriately.
754
755 Wed Mar 30 16:12:40 1994 Ian Lance Taylor (ian@tweedledumb.cygnus.com)
756
757 * gprof.c (getsymtab): Change nosyms to long. Rename
758 get_symtab_upper_bound to bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound. Check for
759 errors from bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound and
760 bfd_canonicalize_symtab.
761
762 Tue Mar 22 10:50:52 1994 Jeffrey A. Law (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)
763
764 * gprof.c (funcsymbol): Use bfd_get_symbol_info instead of
765 bfd_decode_symclass.
766
767 Sun Mar 20 15:40:21 1994 Jeffrey A. Law (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)
768
769 * Makefile.in: Avoid bug in hpux sed.
770
771 Wed Dec 15 20:16:40 1993 david d `zoo' zuhn (zoo@andros.cygnus.com)
772
773 * gprof.texi (Invoking): add text about -v flag
774
775 * gprof.1: add text about -v flag
776
777 Wed Dec 8 16:55:06 1993 david d `zoo' zuhn (zoo@andros.cygnus.com)
778
779 * gprof.c (VERSION): defined a version macro, print the value
780 when the -v option is used
781
782 Tue Jul 6 10:11:56 1993 Steve Chamberlain (sac@phydeaux.cygnus.com)
783
784 * Makefile.in: Install correctly.
785
786 Thu Jun 24 14:43:22 1993 David J. Mackenzie (djm@thepub.cygnus.com)
787
788 * gprof.c (main): Get whoami from argv, instead of hardcoding.
789 Use it in usage message. Split usage message to fit in 80 cols.
790
791 Sun Jun 20 20:58:02 1993 Ken Raeburn (raeburn@poseidon.cygnus.com)
792
793 * Makefile.in: Undo 15 June change.
794
795 Wed Jun 16 12:54:53 1993 Steve Chamberlain (sac@phydeaux.cygnus.com)

798 representations.
799 * gprof.c (getpfile, openpfile, readsamples): Swap data in using
800 new structures.
801
802 Tue Jun 15 23:09:17 1993 Ken Raeburn (raeburn@cambridge.cygnus.com)
803
804 * Makefile.in (.c.o): Look in ../include, not ../bfd, for bfd.h.
805
806 Mon Jun 14 16:22:59 1993 david d `zoo' zuhn (zoo at rtl.cygnus.com)
807
808 * Makefile.in: remove parentdir support
809
810 Mon Jun 7 12:56:17 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
811
812 * Makefile.in (INCLUDES): Add -I../bfd for sysdep.h and bfd.h.
813 * configure.in: No longer need to configure to get sysdep.h.
814
815 Tue May 18 21:44:11 1993 david d `zoo' zuhn (zoo at cirdan.cygnus.com)
816
817 * Makefile.in (install): should not depend on install-info
818
819 Mon Apr 26 12:37:46 1993 Ian Lance Taylor (ian@cygnus.com)
820
821 * gprof.h: Include ansidecl.h before sysdep.h. Undefine hz.
822
823 Tue Apr 13 16:14:03 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
824
825 * M Makefile.in: Add -g to CFLAGS.
826 Ads LDFLAGS and use in place of CFLAGS where appropriate.
827 * configure.in: Make a sysdep.hlink in the same way other
828 bfd-based directories do.
829 * gprof.h (UNIT): Replace non-standard 'u_short' by 'unsigned
830 short'.
831 * gprof.h: #include sysdep.h instead of a bunch of stuff.
832 * gprof.c (main): Fix typo gproff->gprof.
833
834 Thu Mar 25 19:00:37 1993 david d `zoo' zuhn (zoo at cirdan.cygnus.com)
835
836 * gprof.texi: add INFO-DIR-ENTRY
837
838 Tue Mar 23 00:03:11 1993 david d `zoo' zuhn (zoo at cirdan.cygnus.com)
839
840 * Makefile.in: add installcheck target
841
842 Sat Feb 27 18:17:10 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
843
844 * gprof.c (funcsymbol): Invert test for aflag.
845
846 Thu Feb 25 16:01:50 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
847
848 * printgprof (xmalloc, xrealloc): Cast results of malloc
849 and realloc to PTR.
850
851 Wed Feb 3 13:55:33 1993 Jeffrey Osier (jeffrey@fowanton.cygnus.com)
852
853 * Makefile.in: created info, install-info, dvi
854
855 Wed Jan 6 00:58:09 1993 david d `zoo' zuhn (zoo at cirdan.cygnus.com)
856
857 * Makefile.in: fix install rule for $(PROG)
858
859 Fri Oct 9 11:25:41 1992 Mark Eichin (eichin@cygnus.com)
860
861 * gprof.1: updated SYNOPSIS to match actual behavior.
862
863 Mon Oct 5 17:50:16 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
864
865 * gen-c-prog.awk: New awk script, lightly changed from
866 previously deleted make-c-prog.awk. Converts a text file
867 to a c function that prints that text.
868 * flat_bl.m, fsf_callg_bl.m, bsd_callg_bl.m: New files.
869 Inputs to gen-c-prog.awk, containing text describing
870 gprof output.
871 * blurbs.c: Removed. Use *_bl.c instead.
872 * Makefile.in: Use gen-cprog.awk to generate *_bl.c files
873 from *_bl.m files. Also, improve *clean rules.
874 * printgprof.c (printgprof): Usw new function names from *_bl.c.
875
876
877 Sun Aug 30 19:54:53 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
878
879 * gprof.h, gprof.c, printfgprof.c: Add support for two
880 output styles: The default is similar to the old FSF gprof,
881 while -T sets the variable bsd_style_output, which causes
882 output matching Berkeley's gprof. The biggest differences
883 are that with the FSF style output, the flat profile comes
884 before the call graph; numbers come before explanations;
885 and there is less gratuitous white space.
886 * gprof.h, gprof.c, printfgprof.c: New discard_underscores
887 variable causes discarding of initial underscores when
888 printing symbol names. It is set unless there is a "main"
889 symbol (without an underscore).
890 * printfgprof.c: New function printnameonly(), called
891 by printname(). It handles stripping of initial '_',
892 as well as C++ name-demangling.
893 * gprof.callg, gprof.flat, make-c-prog.awk: Removed.
894 It is just as convenient to edit blurbs.c directly.
895 * Makefile.in: Removed rule for making blurbs.c.
896 * blurbs.c: This is now a true source file (as opposed
897 to being generated from gprof.callg and gprof.flat).
898 Change style to use one long string literal, instead of
899 one literal per output line. Add FSF-style blurb for call graph.
900
901 Wed Aug 19 14:36:39 1992 Ian Lance Taylor (ian@cygnus.com)
902
903 * Makefile.in: always create installation directories.
904
905 Wed Aug 12 15:14:14 1992 Mark Eichin (eichin@cygnus.com)
906
907 * Makefile.in: change ${MACHINE} to $(MACHINE).
908
909 Sun Jul 19 17:34:01 1992 david d `zoo' zuhn (zoo at cirdan.cygnus.com)
910
911 * Makefile.in: removed installation of the now useless
912 call.{flag,callg} files.
913
914 * gprof.1: now uses the standard man macros instead of the new BSD
915 mandoc macros.
916
917 Sun Jul 12 19:06:00 1992 John Gilmore (gnu at cygnus.com)
918
919 * configure.in: Remove host section, expand target section.
920 * config/mt-{tahoe,vax}: Add, to match existing support files.
921 * config/tmake-*: Remove leftover crud.
922
923 * blurbs.c: New file, created from gprof.flat and gprof.callg by
924 * make-c-prog.awk: which processes text files into C programs.
925 * printgprof.c (flatprofheader, gprofheader): Call new functions
926 to print blurbs.
927 (printblurb): Remove.
928 * Makefile.in: Infrastructure to build blurbs.
929 * pathnames.h: has been removed. Gprof now has no filename
930 dependencies in it.
