In using gprof on a large C++ app, there are a number of functions in

In a thorough search of the app source, I cannot find any functions
defined with a particular name that shows up like this in the gprof
output.
How can I track down where these functions live?
In the call trace section, they show up as "spontaneous," so I can't
even tell from where they are called.
Any guidance would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

A function called from a source file not built with -pg or via a
function pointer (so that the actual function isn't known at compile
time) would likely produce a <spontaneous>. It's also helpful to use
-static linking.
