The thing is that for normal use, it is the not a prefix, but the output file name. And even in other cases with multiple files, one will have exactly this name. So I think that should be fine. > We could also shorten the options names, eg. --cg-out-file, but I'm not too > fussed about that. I think the option will not be used to often; so a long name should be ok. The nice thing is that the long name matches quite fine the default output file name (for all of cachegrind, callgrind, massif).
