Dear all,

I just started to using valgrind. I want some guidance,...May be the
mail is too long :-)

My goal is to get the overall or cumulative impact of a set of functions
in an
application, I mean the overall %age of contribution of functions group
to the
total workload of application. In fact each one of these functions is a
wrapper 
of a BSD socket API function. 

I have to profile streaming applications and the problem is that
Kcachegrind does
not show the contribution of BSD socket API functions , may be it is
because valgrind does not go
all the way down there.Is there any alternative to valgrind +Kcachegrind

that could give nice graphs with relative costs of individual functions
in the call tree
BUT ALSO SUPPORTING SYSTEM CALLS (Socket API FUNCTIONS) ? 

I saw some profilers like Systemtap and Dtrace BUT, are they going to
give me the
load measures at this fine level of granularity, I got the impression
after preliminary reading 
that it is not the case for  systemtap atleast. 


Best Regards
Subayal Aftab Khan
