I couldn't find a newsgroup for this. I guess someone in this newsgroup might
be able to help me.

I am profiling a -pg compiled program using GNU gprof. I used gcc v2.3 on Sun
OS v4.1 for compiling. I found that the profiles I got did not have "static"
functions in them, and some apparently random function was assigned the time
spent in those functions. A quick look at the manual (and info) told me that
this occurs _only_ when I gprof with -a option. (I didn't use -a)

I would like to include the static functions in the profiler output too. (Or
atleast, I don't the time spent in them to be attributed to some function in
some other module---we usually put static functions in front.) Is there
someway to turn it on? All the static functions are in ar'd and ranlib'd
libraries. Would that be a problem for the profiler? (The objects in those
libraries are also compiled with -pg, and I didn't have problems with global
functions.)

You could mail me the reply if you feel that this information wouldn't be of
general use.
