It obviously wouldn't disassemble anything.

Then it will obviously just show the calls to system library routines.

then the names of the routines called to perform it should be visible

Confirmed by the demonstration I posted.

    Unless they are inlined. Full circle.

      The question was if one just sees the call or if one also sees the operations. If there is a call, then the function is not inlined, and your qualification is useless. If there is a call, one would need to disassemble the library to see the operations. Yes, this is obvious, but you asked.

        And if it can, would it show the actual operations involved, or just calls to system library routines? Are they inlined?

        In my mind there is an implied "ie." between the two sentneces in that paragrpah. Making the second question a restatement of the first. But no matter, I got what I wanted thanks.
