Viewing results sent to me with function names resolved

[abcdefghij]

A common workflow for a coworker to send me some vtune hotspots results for analysis. The vast majority of the function names in the results are not resolved which gives me very little data to go on.

2 questions:

1. Is this the intended behavior or a bug?

2. If it is not a bug, is there a way for my coworker to save the results in a manner so that the function names remain resolved when I open them?

3. If not 2, are there alternate workflow suggestions that don't involve me having to re-resolve the symbols?

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel communities.

While compiling your samples, please use debugging symbols, i.e., the -g flag, and also follow the below steps.

• To configure search directories in the VTune GUI, see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/vtune-profiler/user-guide/2023-2/search-directories.html (Note: when I collect data from a remote Linux system, I copy the source and binaries of interest to my local Windows drive and add those locations to the search directories in the VTune GUI.)
• To configure search directories in the VTune CLI, see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/vtune-profiler/user-guide/2023-2/specifying-search-directories.html

and https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/vtune-profiler/user-guide/2023-2/symbol-resolution-linux-loadable-kernel-modules.html 

If this resolves your issue, make sure to accept this as a solution. This would help others with similar issue. Thank you!

My apologies, I fail to see how this response is applicable to any of the questions asked? Maybe I am misunderstanding?

Hi,

I hope you are doing well.

Sorry for the confusion. Let me give an inline response.

>>Is this the intended behavior or a bug?

Yes, This is an intended behavior

>>If it is not a bug, is there a way for my coworker to save the results in a manner so that the function names remain resolved when I open them?

During compilation, we need to add the debugging symbols flag -g. While viewing results, we need to add the source/binary file path as mentioned above. If you want to share the results with your coworkers, make sure all the binaries and result directories are shared with them.

For more information, please go through the links that were shared above.

If this resolves your issue, make sure to accept this as a solution. This would help others with similar issue. Thank you!

Thanks,
