It should show IPC/cycle, but it doesn't.
There is far more than IPC/cycle for the LBR data, so this Changelog is
misleading.
Also, I think that this patch goes the wrong way, we should reduce the
divergence of the various modes, not make it worse.
Right, Peter, what would you think if I made --stdio use the same
routines used to format the TUI, i.e. stdio would be equal to the TUI
modulo de navigation/jump arrows, etc.
We would have switches to provide the TUI output options that make sense
for non-interactive mode, like:
J Toggle showing number of jump sources on targets
o Toggle disassembler output/simplified view
s Toggle source code view
t Circulate percent, total period, samples view
k Toggle line numbers
And would still have e --stdio-classic (deprecated), that we would keep
for a while.
I think that this new mode with "dissassembler output" would be the same
as the current --stdio, I'll check.
To further clarify, this wouldn't use any ncurses/slang TUI code, just
plain printf with things formatted using what is used now for the TUI
mode.
This way there would never be any drift amongst the output modes and we
would have less work to do when implementing new stuff like this LBR
case.
What do you think?
