Btw., I'd really like to use this feature all the time, so could we please
simplify this somewhat via a subcommand, via something like:
perf record branches ./branches 27
or if 'record' subcommands are not possible anymore:
perf record --branches ./branches 27
and in this case 'perf annotate' should automatically pick up the fact that the
perf.data was done with --branches - i.e. the highlighting should be automagic.
I.e. the only thing a user has to remember to use all this is a single
'--branches' option to perf record - instead of a complex sequence for perf
record
and another sequence for perf annotate.
It would also be nice to have 'perf top --branches', with the built-in
annotation
showing the highlighted branch heat map information and highlighting.
Thanks,
Ingo
