#To parse, use something like:
#$MEMPROF_PATH/parser/parse --perf ./perf.raw --data ./data.processed.raw ./ibs.raw  -u -M

#By default Memprof will try to resolve symbols (e.g., function names) using the binaries at their original location (e.g., /usr/lib/libc.so)
#You can change that using the -B option; e.g., with -B ./bin, Memprof will look for all .so and binaries in ./bin first.
#It can be especially useful if you analyse traces on a machine that is different from that you used to do the profiling (copy all binaries 
#and libraries used during profiling in a ./bin dir on the machine used to analyse the traces and Memprof will use the correct lib versions)
