From 3aec150af3de6c00570bdacf45bf5a999ab9cf1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 14:53:22 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf annotate: Add a comment on the symbol__parse_objdump_line() The symbol__parse_objdump_line() parses result of the objdump run but it's hard to follow if one doesn't know the output format of the objdump. Add a head comment on the function to help her.
