Call Tree View - Profiler Instrumentation Data

The values for a function in the call tree indicate the time for the function instances that were called by the parent function in the call tree. Percentage values are calculated by comparing the value of the function instances to the total elapsed inclusive time of all functions in the profiling run.

General

The general columns identify the function in a view row.

Column

Description

Function Name

The name of the function.

Function Address

The address of the function.

Function Line Number

The line number of the start of this function in the source file.

Number of Calls

The total number of calls that were made to this function.

Source File

The source file that contains the definition for this function.

Module Name

The name of the module that contains the function.

Module Path

The path of the module that contains the function.

Process ID

The process ID (PID) of the profiling run.

Process Name

The name that is assigned to the process.

Time Exclusive Probe Overhead

The time overhead for this function that was caused by instrumentation. Probe overhead has been subtracted from all exclusive times.

Time Inclusive Probe Overhead

The time overhead for this function and its child functions that was caused by instrumentation. Probe overhead has been subtracted from all inclusive times.

Level

The depth of the function in the call tree. Only in VSPerfReport command-line reports.

Elapsed Inclusive Values

Elapsed inclusive values indicate the time on the call stack of those instances of the function that were called by the parent function in the call tree. The time includes time that was spent in child functions that were called by the function and in calls to the operating system, such as context switches and input/output operations.

Column

Description

Elapsed Inclusive Time

The total elapsed inclusive time of all calls to this function in this context.

Elapsed Inclusive Time %

The percentage of the total elapsed inclusive time of the profiling run that was spent in the total elapsed inclusive time of this function in this context.

Avg Elapsed Inclusive Time

The average elapsed inclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Max Elapsed Inclusive Time

The maximum elapsed inclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Min Elapsed Inclusive Time

The minimum elapsed inclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Elapsed Exclusive Values

Elapsed exclusive values indicate the time that those instances of a function that were called by the parent function in the call tree were executing code in the function body; that is, when the function was at the top of the call stack. The time includes time in calls to the operating system, such as context switches and input/output operations. However, the time does not include time that was spent in child functions that were called by the function.

Column

Description

Elapsed Exclusive Time

The total elapsed exclusive time of all calls to this function in this context.

Elapsed Exclusive Time %

The percentage of the total elapsed exclusive time of the profiling run that was spent in the total elapsed exclusive time of this function in this context.

Avg Elapsed Exclusive Time

The average elapsed exclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Max Elapsed Exclusive Time

The maximum elapsed exclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Min Elapsed Exclusive Time

The minimum elapsed exclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Application Inclusive Values

Application inclusive values indicate the time that instances of a function that were called by the parent function in the call tree were on the call stack. The time does not include time that was spent in calls to the operating system, such as context switches and input/output operations, However, the time does include time that was spent in child functions that were called by the function.

Column

Description

Application Inclusive Time

The total application inclusive time of all calls to this function in this context.

Application Inclusive Time %

The percentage of the total elapsed inclusive time of the profiling run that was spent in the total application inclusive time of this function in this context.

Avg Application Inclusive Time

The average application inclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Max Application Inclusive Time

The maximum application inclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Min Application Inclusive Time

The minimum application inclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Application Exclusive Values

Application exclusive values indicate the time that those instances of a function that were called by the parent function in the call tree were directly executing code in the function body; that is, when the function was at the top of the call stack. The time does not include time that was spent in calls to the operating system, such as context switches and input/output operations. It also does not include time that was spent in child functions that were called by the function.

Column

Description

Application Exclusive Time

The total application exclusive time of all calls to this function in this context.

Application Exclusive Time %

The percentage of the total elapsed exclusive time of the profiling run that was spent in the total application exclusive time of this function in this context.

Avg Application Exclusive Time

The average application exclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Max Application Exclusive Time

The maximum application exclusive time of a call to this function in this context.

Min Application Exclusive Time

The minimum application exclusive time of a call to this function in this context.
