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.

Column

Description

% Func Hits In Children

Number of hits due to this child entry and its descendants, 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 child.

 

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 child is called by all functions. This is the denominator of the

 

propagation fraction.

% Call Total

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

 

times the self entry called this child entry as compared to the total number of calls for this

 

child entry.
