Processid (PID) reuse problem with xCode

I have a large custom CMS and I use xcode to run a profiler to get debug information. So, I perform different functions in my CMS and "HOPE" to get ALL information via xDebug.

Lets say I perform two functions:

1. Load a listing of users 
2. Deleted a user 
   2.1 Calls an AJAX script to delete user.

Now, due to the process id reuse, there is a chance (happens to me 8 of 10 times) that instead of 3 cache files I have 2, one of the processId is reused. BUMMER

Can this problem be overcomed ? How would it work..

..jacking up Keep-Alive isn't a solution.

Solution

  • xdebug.profiler_output_name=cachegrind.out.%p.%u instead of the standard xdebug.profiler_output_name=cachegrind.out.%p would append a micro-second suffix. See this link for more naming options, having a script name for instance can make your life even easier.
