Golang profiler cannot find source code

Question

I've included the net/http/pprof package in my code. I can then comfortably run the pprof profiler (on Debian):

go tool pprof http://localhost:9000/debug/pprof/profile

Commands such as top10 or even generating call graphs work as expected. However, as soon as I try to go into a function, it fails:

(pprof) list MyFunc
No source information for mypkg.MyFunc

My GOPATH is set to my project's directory. Do I need any special flags or environment variables while building my source code or while running pprof?

Answer 1

Found the answer with the help of the golang-nuts people. I needed to specify the binary:

go tool pprof mybinary http://localhost:9000/debug/pprof/profile

This way the source code is found and can be listed with the "list" command.
