Subject: [PATCH] perf annotate: add --demangle and --demangle-kernel
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2021 20:33:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c3c7e959-9f7f-18e2-e795-f604275cbac3@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2327ca98-f2ee-3a9a-0e24-d52fc90bcf9b@suse.cz>

Perf annotate supports --symbol but it's impossible to filter
a C++ symbol. With --no-demangle one can filter easily by
mangled function name.
