This *is* documented in the Callgrind manual, see http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/cl-manual.html In 6.2.1 under "Dumping at enter/leave of specified functions": "Function specifications support wildcards: e.g. use --dump-before='foo*' to generate dumps before entering any function starting with foo." In 6.3. "Callgrind Command-line Options": "Some options allow the specification of a function/symbol name, such as --dump-before=function, or --fn-skip=function. All these options can be specified multiple times for different functions. In addition, the function specifications actually are patterns by supporting the use of wildcards '*' (zero or more arbitrary characters) and '?' (exactly one arbitrary character), similar to file name globbing in the shell. This feature is important especially for C++, as without wildcard usage, the function would have to be specified in full extent, including parameter signature." Where did you expect the documentation of wildcards in addition to the above?
