One can already get a stacktrace for each snapshot that massif makes via --detailed-freq=1, no? Anyhow, having such a user API for markers in the output would certainly be welcome. From a output format POV I'd say it could be done by adding a "desc=" or similar to snapshot entries, and then the client request API could just trigger the creation of a new detailed snapshot. #----------- snapshot=7 #----------- time=14790656197 mem_heap_B=140095127 mem_heap_extra_B=12551169 mem_stacks_B=0 heap_tree=detailed desc=Label given by caller of client request API n32: 140095127 (heap allocation functions) malloc/new/new[], --alloc-fns, etc. ... Adding support for such labels in Massif-Visualizer would be trivial. No clue about ms_print though.
