[Valgrind-users] callgrind and --dump-before option syntax ?

[Chris J. <jo...@he...>]

Hi,

I know this is perhaps not quite the correct mailing list, but its the 
closest I have found for callgrind related questions.

I'm running valgrind 3.1.0 and callgrind 0.10.1. I am trying to use the 
   --dump-before= option, which I have used before fine with older 
releases.

I have a C++ class A, with method foo. I want to get a dump before each 
call to A::foo. Previously I just used the option --dump-before=A:foo 
and that worked fine. Now it does not - I get one huge dump at the end. 
I see from the release notes that there was some changes to how this 
option handles names recently

* Release 0.9.11
* Support of Valgrind 2.4.0.
* Fix handling of function name patterns on command line
	  "--dump-before=foo" previously created a dump when entering
	  functions which began with "foo". Now it dumps only on "foo".
	  Wildcards "?" and "*" are fully supported.
* ....etc.

But I have tried all combinations I can think of with no luck, and I 
have failed to find any real documentation on this feature. Can anyone 
tell me the correct syntax to use ?

cheers Chris
