VTune Linux - How to undo source directory search location assignemnt

[cfspc]

Greetings,

I was trying to drill down to source and vtune asked me where a given source file
was. Instead of the file name I gave it only the directory name and just got a
blank source view. Now whenever I try to drill down to a function in that file
I get the same blank source view. Is there a way to undo this association so
that I can point VTune to the correct source location?

Thanks in advance,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

If VTune asked for the source file while drilling-down to a hotspot function, it might mean that the project files were moved or obsolete or executable does not contain debug information. Make sure you are using correct files (sources correspond to the compiled modules you're drilling down from) and the debug information is generated (use /Zi and /DEBUG options for compilation and linking).

In order to clean-up all assosiations just delete ISM cache: "global_dataISMxxx"

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks! I will try this now.

BTW - The executable I am profiling is the result of some very large andnasty build procedure
that probably does move some stuff around etc. However, the source file location, at least
relative, is in the binary.

Thanks,

Carlos

Hello again,

Cleaning ISM did notwork :-(. I removed all the symbolic info I had. I can't even see function names now.

Hi Carlos,

Once cleaned-up ISN cache, you need torun the collection again and point out right sources. But I suspect thatin your case there is a mess in the debug info anyway.Let's see after new collection.
