pprof - source code

[Kane Kim]

Is source code required for pprof to function? 

When I'm trying to list the source with list .Foo it gives me an error:

Error: open /opt/go/src/github.com/XXX no such file or directory

P.s. running > go tool pprof --cum binary pprof.gz

Yes, source code is required. Go programs do not embed the source code they were built with, only file paths and line numbers.

Hi Kane,

Where do you find the manual for that command?

Readin https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/k4RwbsIMyOc , https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/k4RwbsIMyOc , or the source code itself of pprof.go https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/k4RwbsIMyOc I do not see anything corresponding to the way of use pprof.

Running
$ go tool pprof
will give you some help.

Separately, once you've started pprof, typing "help" will give more help:
$ go tool pprof x.prof
Entering interactive mode (type "help" for commands)
(pprof) help
