Question

I’m trying to profile a GO program using the procedure described here:

http://blog.golang.org/2011/06/profiling-go-programs.html
.

However pprof shows addresses instead of function names in output:

(pprof) top10
Total: 2113 samples
     298  14.1%  14.1%      298  14.1% 0000000000464d34
     179   8.5%  22.6%      179   8.5% 0000000000418e83
     157   7.4%  30.0%      157   7.4% 0000000000418e60
     112   5.3%  35.3%      112   5.3% 0000000000403293
     101   4.8%  40.1%      101   4.8% 0000000000464d4f
      83   3.9%  44.0%       83   3.9% 000000000040329c
      77   3.6%  47.7%       77   3.6% 0000000000418e7a
      62   2.9%  50.6%       62   2.9% 0000000000456a38
      37   1.8%  52.3%       37   1.8% 0000000000418e41
      37   1.8%  54.1%       37   1.8% 0000000000435f57

Has anyone experienced that and found a fix?

There is a mention here of a 6prof tool to be used in alternative to the procedure described above. Does anyone know if it’s still maintained and where to find it?

I’m using go1.0.2 on Win7 64.

Thanks!

I fixed the perl script to work under Windows.
