report hotspots using command line : UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte

[lionnel_c_]

Hi

I need to generate a report with CPU metric for each line of the source code using the CLI version of Vtune.

It's OK using the GUI version (right click in the Top Down view, Export to CSV), but no luck with CLI

amplxe-cl -report hotspots -source-object function=MyFunc -source-search-dir <path-to-src> -result-dir <path-to-report-dir> -search-dir <path-to-bin>

that leads to:

amplxe: Executing actions 75 % Generating a report
[snip line of code]
exception 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 453: ordinal not in range(128)

I understand this is a matter of text-coding as the source code contains accentuated letters at the line specified in the error message.

Please advise on how to fix the problem ?

Was it possible that you can repeat this problem after upgrading to VTune(TM) Amplifier XE 2016 Update 2?

Please rerun this CLI, if problem still be here: run "amplxe-feedback -create-bug-report <report archive>". Please send vtune's result directory with report to me via private message, if you like. Thank you.
