Request for supporting following forked/child processes, or attaching to process #73

Thank you for writing this tool. In some use cases, the actual executable to be profiled is forked by another process. In that case, unless we can attach to a process id or follow child processes, it is impossible to profile. Please consider adding support for this.

What's the use case for this?

aravind2612krishna commented 3 years ago

Like I said, the actual executable to be profiled is forked by another process. In that case I'm not sure I can profile it without attaching to process id, or MTuner following each child process and creating a separate MTuner file for each.

Again, it what scenario does this happen? Anyway, I don't see this as something that is worth my time but feel free to contribute - it's open source for a reason.
