Table 30 Information in scgprof Measurement Report: Function Entries (Self Entries) (continued)

ColumnDescription

% Func Hits In Func

Number of hits due to this function, expressed as a percentage of the number of hits

 

accounted for by this function and its descendants.

 

 

Called

Number of times this function is called, other than recursive calls. If this is a cycle entry,

 

this means the number of times the members of this cycle are called from functions that

 

are not members of this cycle.

 

If this column contains a hyphen (-), this means that there is at least one call, but the exact

 

number of calls is unknown. This notation can mean that the function was called inline.

 

For a cycle entry, a hyphen is reported if any of its members is called inline and if the

 

inline member is called from one of the outside callers of the cycle.

 

 

+Self

Number of times this function calls itself recursively. For a cycle entry, this denotes the

 

number of calls within the cycle.

 

If this column contains a hyphen (-), this means that there is at least one call, but the exact

 

number of calls is unknown. This notation can mean that the function was called inline.

 

For a cycle entry, a hyphen is reported if any of its members is called inline.

 

 

% Call Total

Does not apply. See Table 30 (page 212), Table 32 (page 213) and Table 33 (page 214).

 

 

Function

Name of the function.

 

 

Cycle

Cycle that this function is a member of, if any.

Column

Description

 

 

Total Hits In Only

Percentage of total sample hits directly in the call path. This represents the percentage

 

of the total CPU time attributable to the call path.

 

 

Table 32 Information in scgprof Measurement Report: Parent Listings

Column

Description

 

 

% Func Hits Under Parent

Number of hits propagated by the self entry and its descendants to this parent entry,

 

expressed as a percentage of the number of hits accounted for by the self entry and its

 

descendants.

 

 

Called*

Number of times the function represented by the self entry was called by this parent.

 

If this column contains a hyphen (-), this means that there is at least one call, but the exact

 

number of calls is unknown. This notation can mean that the function was called inline.

 

 

/Total**

Number of times this function was called by all of its parents. This is the denominator of

 

the propagation fraction.

 

If this column contains a hyphen (-), this means that there is at least one call, but the exact

 

number of calls is unknown. This notation can mean that the function was called inline.

 

 

% Call Total

Fraction of Called/Total expressed as a percentage. This represents the percentage of

 

times this parent called the self entry as compared to the total number of calls from all

 

parents to the self entry.

 

 

Parents

Name of this parent function.

 

 

Cycle

Cycle that this parent is a member of, if any.

 

 

*Static-only parents and children are indicated by a call count of 0.

**This field is omitted for parents, or children, in the same cycle as the function. If the function, or child, is a member of a cycle, the propagated times and propagation denominator represent the self time and descendant time of the cycle as a whole.
