Yes, I'm aware of it. My motivation is to generate a HTML perf annotate report
and I see the following parts of --stdio2 not ideal:

- coloring is not available (--stdio-color=always does not work)
- 'Sorted summary for file ' is missing so one can't easily search for
   hot spots in browser
- source line number are displayed, but not the source files
- there's a missing option for 'Toggle disassembler output/simplified view' which
   is available in TUI mode

That said, the stdio2 annotation report is quite different and so handy for my use case.

Sure. But I think the current format provides quite broken visual layout:

       0.00 :   405ef1: inc    %r15
       0.01 :   405ef4: vfmadd213sd 0x2b9b3(%rip),%xmm0,%xmm3        # 4318b0 <_IO_stdin_used+0x8b0>
    eff.c:1811    0.67 :   405efd: vfmadd213sd 0x2b9b2(%rip),%xmm0,%xmm3        # 4318b8 <_IO_stdin_used+0x8b8>
           :            TA + tmpsd * (TB +

vs.

       0.00 :   405ef1: inc    %r15
       0.01 :   405ef4: vfmadd213sd 0x2b9b3(%rip),%xmm0,%xmm3        # 4318b0 <_IO_stdin_used+0x8b0>
       0.67 :   405efd: vfmadd213sd 0x2b9b2(%rip),%xmm0,%xmm3        # 4318b8 <_IO_stdin_used+0x8b8> // eff.c:1811
            : 1810   TA + tmpsd * (TB +

I bet also the current users of --stdio mode would benefit from it.
What do you think?

Thanks,
Martin
