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

[Rocky B. <ro...@gn...>]

If we agree on an acceptable way to accomplish the simplification, perhaps
I'll work something up.

The big picture is that while kcachegrind has a lot of features and many of
them are cool, there are number of situations where buttons aren't
applicable. In those cases, I think it would be great to grey out or hide
the buttons. My take is hide the buttons. And my take is that doing this
automatically is preferable to having a user deselect things that aren't
applicable.

So is it feasible to remove grouping by ELF object or class in the dropdown
and the "Machine Code" tab if there isn't any machine code as determined by
the specific data?
