With the introduction of the gdbserver in Valgrind (3.7.0 svn), the
'cg' prefix (for cachegrind) versus 'ct' prefix (for callgrind) is also
visible in the gdbserver monitor commands.
E.g. to ask callgrind to do a dump, the following is done from gdb:
(gdb) monitor ct.dump
or from a shell:
vgdb ct.dump
So, as you see, for callgrind, we need to type prefix 'ct'.
The above naming schema is based on:
* gdb will complete its "own" command (e.g. mo <tab> will be completed to
monitor)
but gdb can't complete what follows monitor.
* the "two letters" code of a tool was used as a short unambiguous prefix.
Currently, we have:
memcheck => mc
massif => ms
callgrind => ct (this comes from the old "calltree" callgrind name)
Following the same logic, if we would have monitor commands for cachegrind,
they would start with cg. (there are no cachegrind monitor command at this
stage).
Changing in gdbserver the two letters for callgrind is very easy at this stage
(as nobody is yet depending on these letters, it is only in Valgrind svn 3.7.0).
But if we better change these, what should these 2 letters be ?
