2015 Update 1 MSVC GUI "mark timeline" says "not implemented"

[Marián__VooDooMan__M]

Greetings,

as I said in the topic, when I click "mark timeline", in the GUI log reading "not implemented.

PS: I am using native x64 (not CLR app, nor Win Store app).

specs: Win 8.1 Pro x64, x64 target app, MSVC 2013 with the latest updates to both MSVC and Windows.

Regards

What analysis type are you using and what is the *exact* message you are seeing.  Here is what I am seeing.  However, the marks still appear in the timeline.

I'm running Amplifier XE 2015 Update 1 in Visual Studio* 2013 on Windows* 8.1 x64, using both Basic Hotspots and Advanced Hotspots.

[Marián__VooDooMan__M]

I better made a sreenshot:

My config: Haswell, Win 8.1 Pro x64, target application x64, MSVC 2013 Update 4 RC.

VTune config:

new analyses -> advanced hotspots -> hotspots, call counts, stacks and context switches
collection data limit, MB -> 102400

hope this helps.

Please, let me know whether you can reproduce the issue.

NB: My code is NOT managed code.

Okay, you say your code is not managed, but it looks like VTune Amplifier is configured to profile managed code.  Are you using VTune Amplifier within Visual Studio* or standalone?  If standalone, look in your project settings and make sure the "Managed code profiling mode" is set to "Native":

[Marián__VooDooMan__M]

Yes, I using VTune inside MSVC. I didn't know there is possibility to run it "outside"/standalone, I always thought it is MSVC plug-in only.

[Marián__VooDooMan__M]

FWIW In standalone mode the issue is present as well.

[David_A_Intel1]

With managed code profile mode set to native?  Regardless of the message, do you see the marks in the timeline?

[Marián__VooDooMan__M]

Yes, set to "native" exactly like your screenshot in post #4.

No, there are no marks.

FWIW: I pressed it many times, but error message was displayed only once.

I was able to reproduce this issue. At this moment I suggest to avoid pressing "Mark timeline" button when using "Advanced Hotspots" + stacks or stacks and call counts. We'll fix messaging and collection issues in next update.
