Table 30 Information in scgprof Measurement Report: Function Entries (Self Entries) (continued)
DescriptionColumn
Number of hits due to this function, expressed as a percentage of the number of hits
accounted for by this function and its descendants.
% Func Hits In Func
Number of times this function is called, other than recursive calls. If this is a cycle entry,
this means the number of times the members of this cycle are called from functions that
are not members of this cycle.
If this column contains a hyphen (-), this means that there is at least one call, but the exact
number of calls is unknown. This notation can mean that the function was called inline.
For a cycle entry, a hyphen is reported if any of its members is called inline and if the
inline member is called from one of the outside callers of the cycle.
Called
Number of times this function calls itself recursively. For a cycle entry, this denotes the
number of calls within the cycle.
If this column contains a hyphen (-), this means that there is at least one call, but the exact
number of calls is unknown. This notation can mean that the function was called inline.
For a cycle entry, a hyphen is reported if any of its members is called inline.
+Self
Does not apply. See Table 30 (page 212), Table 32 (page 213) and Table 33 (page 214).% Call Total

Table 31 Information in scgprof Measurement Report (Hot Call Paths Profile)
DescriptionColumn
Percentage of total sample hits directly in the call path. This represents the percentage
of the total CPU time attributable to the call path.
Total Hits In Only
Table 32 Information in scgprof Measurement Report: Parent Listings
DescriptionColumn
Number of hits propagated by the self entry and its descendants to this parent entry,
expressed as a percentage of the number of hits accounted for by the self entry and its
descendants.
% Func Hits Under Parent
Number of times the function represented by the self entry was called by this parent.
If this column contains a hyphen (-), this means that there is at least one call, but the exact
number of calls is unknown. This notation can mean that the function was called inline.
Called*
Number of times this function was called by all of its parents. This is the denominator of
the propagation fraction.
If this column contains a hyphen (-), this means that there is at least one call, but the exact
number of calls is unknown. This notation can mean that the function was called inline.
/Total**
Fraction of Called/Total expressed as a percentage. This represents the percentage of
times this parent called the self entry as compared to the total number of calls from all
parents to the self entry.
% Call Total
Name of this parent function.Parents
Cycle that this parent is a member of, if any.Cycle
*Static-only parents and children are indicated by a call count of 0.
**This field is omitted for parents, or children, in the same cycle as the function. If the function, or
child, is a member of a cycle, the propagated times and propagation denominator represent the
self time and descendant time of the cycle as a whole.
