Subject: [PATCHSET v2 0/7] perf annotate: Add --code-with-type option
Hello,
There are roughly two modes in the perf annotate. One is normal code
annotation and the other is data type annotation. I'm proposing a new
way to combine the code and data annotation together.
With this option, "# data-type: <name> [offset (field)]" part will be
added when it found a data type for the given instruction. This is
for every instruction in the function regardless whether it has a
sample or not.
This will be useful to understand function level data access patterns.
Currently it only works with --stdio, but I can add it to TUI later.
v2 changes)
* fix typos in the cover letter (Ian)
* fix a build error when !HAVE_LIBDW_SUPPORT
* add Reviewed-by from Ian
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250303173807.1765098-1-namhyung@kernel.org
Here's an example output.
$ perf annotate --code-with-type --stdio
