To initialize with local symbols, enter:
performance_measurement_initialize local_symbols_in
<source file name>
The symbols associated with the source file become the address ranges for
which activity is measured. If the symbols database is not loaded, an error
message will occur telling you that the source filename symbol was not found.
You can also use the "local_symbols_in" option with procedure symbols. This
allows you to measure activity related to the symbols defined in a single
function or procedure.
These are example commands showing performance measurement initialization
with local symbols.
performance_measurement_initialize local_symbols_in
spmt_demo.C:
performance_measurement_initialize local_symbols_in
spmt_demo.C:math_library
performance_measurement_initialize local_symbols_in
math_library
•
To restore the current measurement, enter:
performance_measurement_initialize restore
This allows you to restore old performance measurement data from the
perf.out file in the current directory.
If you have not exited and reentered emulation, you can add traces to a
measurement simply by entering another performance_measurement_run
command. However, if you exit and reenter the emulation system, you must
enter the performance_measurement_initialize restore command before you
can add traces to a measurement. When you restore a performance
measurement, make sure your current trace command is identical to the
command used with the restored measurement.
