Re: [Kcachegrind-callgrind] customizing kcachegrind for limited GNU make profile data

[Josef W. <Jos...@gm...>]

Hi Rocky,

of course it would be nice to make kcachegrind (or the pure Qt version
qcachegrind)
usable for other visualization needs, as long as this makes some sense.

What do you actually see missing?
The current format already makes instruction addresses optional, but a
more explicit
way to toggle visualizations on/off may be useful.

If you have a patch available, just send it.

Best,
Josef
