去pprof不能在不同的平台上工作

Question

My application is running on CentOS，and when I run curl localhost:port/debug/pprof/profile > some.pprof，and run go tool pprof some.pprof, it works. But When I use scp copying the some.pprof file to my mac and run go tool pprof some.pprof,it doesn't work any more,command top display only 1 line in which flat and sum both are 100% and the last row is the name of my application rather than the name of methods invoked. Isn't the pprof file cross platform or something I've misused?

Answer 1

as Adrian said, the binary is required for running pprof. So download the binary from server,put it into the same path on server, and it works
