Hello everyone!
I'm trying to profile my appliaction with Valgrind,
Launching profiling function analizer, the analizer start correctly with this output==1814== Callgrind, a call-graph generating cache profiler ==1814== Copyright (C) 2002-2015, and GNU GPL'd, by Josef Weidendorfer et al. ==1814== Using Valgrind-3.12.0.SVN and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==1814== Command: /Users/mariomeloni/Develop/build/bin/btb ==1814== --1814-- warning: L3 cache found, using its data for the LL simulation. ==1814== For interactive control, run 'callgrind_control -h'. --1814-- UNKNOWN mach_msg unhandled MACH_SEND_TRAILER option --1814-- UNKNOWN mach_msg unhandled MACH_SEND_TRAILER option (repeated 2 times) --1814-- UNKNOWN mach_msg unhandled MACH_SEND_TRAILER option (repeated 4 times) --1814-- UNKNOWN mach_msg unhandled MACH_SEND_TRAILER option (repeated 8 times) --1814-- UNKNOWN mach_msg unhandled MACH_SEND_TRAILER option (repeated 16 times)But, the analysis get stuck for hours and nothing happen.
I'm talking about an application with 200 c++ classes.Is this normal ?
Any idea about it ?Thanks in advanced and sorry for my bad english ;)

Hi all,
Quite same experience on macOS 10.13.1 platform, seems valgring is not working at all:

@quadbyte: There is QTCREATORBUG-19004 which looks like your problem. Please see there for more information about the problem and the possible solution (upgrading valgrind)
