It looks like nested functions are not properly reported by gprof.
The original problem was on Ada code with nested
functions. This is with GCC from CVS HEAD 20050213 and GNU gprof 2.15.91.0.2
on a x86 SuSE 9.2 system. A GCC developper suggested that the appropriate calls
seemed to be generated properly, so the problem was likely in gprof.
$ cat cn.c
#define N 1000
static int sum=0;
void p1(void) {
int i;
for(i=1;i<=N;i++) sum+=(i+1)/i;
}
void p2(void) {
int f2(int x) {
return x;
}
int i;
for(i=1;i<=2*N;i++) sum+=f2(i+1)/i;
}
void p3(void) {
int i;
for(i=1;i<=3*N;i++) sum+=(i+1)/i;
}
int main(void) {
p1();
p2();
p3();
return 0;
}
$ gcc -pg -g cn.c
$ ./a.out
$ gprof ./a.out
