title: using gprof and boost
body: <p>While profiling a bit of code that use's many boost functions with gprof, there is a very nasty and hard to follow output see sample below , is there any way to clean up gprof for use with boost or more boost friendly alternatives? from the looks of it there is a repition of boost::math::policy that is cluttering up the profiling output making it difficult to see or understand the call graph </p>
  
  <p>btw heres the a snippet of an example</p>
  
  <pre><code>boost::math::policies::policy&lt;boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy&gt; &gt;(long double, long double, long double*, long double*, int, boost::math::policies::policy&lt;boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy, boost::math::policies::default_policy&gt; const&amp;)
