Thread: [Valgrind-users] Callgrind complains about debug symbols missing

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

I have a large, complex, non-public project where I used to identify
performance issues using callgrind (via QtCreator) but that stopped
working. Now I don't get any function names, instead I get
"0x00000123456789" or similar.

I created a very simple project and it still doesn't work as expected.
You can find the project here:

https://github.com/abrock/callgrind-test

I build it like this:
g++ -g main.cpp

and run it like this:
valgrind --tool=callgrind ./a.out

which gives me this output:
==8960== Callgrind, a call-graph generating cache profiler
==8960== Copyright (C) 2002-2017, and GNU GPL'd, by Josef Weidendorfer
et al.
==8960== Using Valgrind-3.13.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info
==8960== Command: ./a.out
==8960==
==8960== For interactive control, run 'callgrind_control -h'.
Hello World!

==8960== I   refs:      14,374,235

Then I run kcachegrind:
kcachegrind callgrind.out.8960

which gives me this result:

It shows the two trees for the two functions with different runtimes as
expected, but no function names and complains about missing debug
symbols and doesn't seem to know the name of the executable.

This is my g++ version:
g++ -v

I'm out of ideas, did I do something wrong? Feels like I missed
something totally obvious.

I tried the git version of valgrind which works as expected for the
simple test program but crashes for my large project:
