Is this the right group to post Shark questions to?
My code was built with -O -g -DNDEBUG, although note that I have
the exact same problem if I build with -g alone.
I run my executable with Shark, wait for it, and get the typical
Shark results. I double-click various rows in the profile view to
see the associated code. Now, the weird part is that for *some*
files it shows the code, but for others it only shows the
assembly. If I look at the build transcript, the files in question
were definitely built with -g.
This is a rather peculiar build I admit, because it is an external
target that invokes make and basically doesn't use Xcode for much
other than editing, but nevertheless, what's going on?
I realize this post probably isn't sufficient to solve the problem,
but does anyone know how I should start working on this? I don't
really have any ideas?
Thanks.
As a workaround, you can use dsymutil to generate a .dSYM file.
The .dSYM is essentially an aggregation of all the debug information
contained in the .o's. If you generate one successfully and place
it in the same folder as the executable, Shark will automatically
read the debug information from the .dSYM. This can be used to work
around the .a bug in Shark.

Are there any circumstances under which the dsymutil approach would
not work...because I tried it. :-) I ran it on the executable and it
produces a .dSYM file next to the executable. Shark's behavior didn't
change, it still showed only assembly for some of the functions. Does
that make sense?
