Ah, right, sorry. So to summarize the big picture: cachegrind -> instructions count, without call stacks, useful for overall numbers or with cg_annotate callgrind -> instructions count, with call stacks, best viewed in kcachegrind I wish those two could do cycles and not just instructions, but I guess this requires a good cache simulator again, back to square one ;) (perf does cycles, but doesn't give exact number of method calls, that's one benefit of cachegrind/callgrind) -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ Valgrind-users mailing list Valgrind-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/valgrind-users
