In addition to specifying the profile format, the user can also specify the following options
-
--fixnames - Use the fixnames option for gprof. When C and Fortran code are mixed, the C routines have to be mapped to either .function or function_. Strip the leading period or trailing underscore, if it is there.
-
--pack <file> - Rather than load the data and launch the GUI, pack the data into the specified file.
-
--dump - Rather than load the data and launch the GUI, dump the data to TAU Profiles. This can be used to convert supported formats to TAU Profiles.
