Formats Tab

The Formats tab presents a choice for the long form, short form, or mangled form of C++ function names and Java method names. If you select the Append SO name to Function name checkbox, the name of the shared object in which the function or method is located is appended to the function name or method name.

The Formats tab also presents a choice for View Mode of User, Expert, or Machine. The View Mode setting controls the processing of Java experiments and OpenMP experiments.

For Java experiments:

• User mode shows Java call stacks for Java threads, and does not show housekeeping threads.

• Expert mode shows Java call stacks for Java threads when the user’s Java code is being executed, and native call stacks when JVM code is being executed or when the JVM software does not report a Java call stack. It shows native call stacks for housekeeping threads.

• Machine mode shows native call stacks for all threads.

For OpenMP experiments:

• User mode and expert mode show master-thread call stacks and slave-thread call stacks reconciled, and add special functions, with the names of form <OMP-*>, when the OpenMP runtime is performing certain operations.

• Machine mode shows native call stacks for all threads and outline functions generated by the compiler.

For all other experiments, all three modes show the same data.
