of man page, -d is not referenced because available as a compile option. It
should be made a runtime option btw.
generated the gmon data. The support is currently limited to what is
easy to implement and/or needed:
signedess: signed or insigned
size: 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits
format: a binary integer in gprof's format (gprof is not a cross-tool).
High-resolution kernel profiling uses signed 64-bit counters. Normal
kernel profiling and user profiling use unsigned 16-bit counters but
should use 32-bit ones.
things when sizeof(UNIT) becomes a runtime parameter. The relevant 2
is the one in profil(2)'s scaling of pc's to bucket numbers:
bucket = (pc - offset) / 2 * profil_scale / 65536
gprof(1) must duplicate this scaling, bug for bug compatibly, so it
must first do an integer division by 2 although this mainly makes
scales larger than 65536 useless. sizeof(UNIT) was already wrong in
gprof4, but there were no problems because the fake profil scale is a
multiple of 2.
There are also some rounding bugs in the scaling, but these are only
problems if profil(2) is used directly to create unusual (and not
useful) scales.
without possibly losing lots of precision, and print the scale using
%g instead of %d in case it is non-integral. %g might not be the best
format for this.
was split off from gprof.c in rev.1.7 of the latter. elf.c is mostly new,
but the old copyright sort of applies to it and is better than none.
Use __FBSDID() for the FreeBSD id.
from <number of machines> machine-dependent headers to the one
non-header here it is used so that it is easier to fix. This macro
just divides the machine-dependent offset OFFSET_OF_CODE by the
machine-independent scale factor sizeof(UNIT), as required for bug
for bug compatibility with the scaling of pc's in gprof.c. UNIT is
the type of a profiling counter, and its size has nothing to do with
the correct scale factor except both are usually 2.

able to be profiled.

EGCS assign weak symbols to inline functions it couldn't inline (e.g. virtual
inline functions), template functions, etc. Omitting them result in quite bogus

Weak symbols created by __weak_reference are not really problem.

files. I have split the object format specific code into separate
source files. It's cleaner than it was before, but it's still
pretty crufty.
Don't cheat on your make world for this update. A lot of things
have to be rebuilt for it to work, including the compiler and all
of the profiled libraries.
special functions have names containing dollar signs, and ignoring
them causes gprof to produce incorrect and sometimes bizarre results.
The comment in the original code said that dollar signs were excluded
because they are used in Pascal labels. That's not much of an
issue these days.
