trying to use gprof, program compiled with -pg dies immediately


Is gprof on Solaris 9 X86 not as supported as Solaris 9 Sparc?

At work when we try to compile a program with -pg to use
gprof to performance profile our software, the compiled
app just dies instantly when it's started, no gmon.out
file is made and the core file can't be traced by ddd:

(it warns there's no symbols or no stack something like that).
We did remove /usr/lib from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
substituted it with /usr/lib/libp as stated in the man
page for gprof. The Gcc version is 2.95.3

Soon we'll have 3.X to try and maybe a newer patched version
of Solaris 9. I noticed that when I did the same process
to a small test program I compiled on a Sparc machine, gprof
worked fine (Sun Solaris 9 Sparc on a Enterprise server),
produced a gmon.out file and I could run it thru gprof to
see the trace output.

Hi, I am having trouble, using 'gnu profiler'. The problem is when I type: gprof executable_name I don't get any accumulated time for the execution of the program. The detail of what I have done is the following. 1) I created a program named "prac2.cpp". Prac2.cpp is the following. #include<iostream> using namespace std; int main(){

Hi I have written a C++ program (Redhat Linux 7.2, gcc v2.96). The program makes a sequence of calls to rand() after having seeded the random number generator using srand( 0 ). Under normal circumstances, for a given input state, the sequence of random numbers generated is exactly reproduced each time the program is run. So, if I run the tool 3 times in succession, the path of execution is completely identical each time as far as the...

Hello, I would like to profile a Python program using gprof. I already rebuilt Python with CC="gcc -pg" ../configure. So, I should be able to use gprof. How do I do that? Should I first run Python and then gprof? What are the steps? Thanks a lot!

Hi, I have a program and I want to test its execution time. When I run the program, I can feel it runs about 4 mins, but the gprof only says the accumlated time is 7.2 secs. Then I use the command: "date; my program; date" and from the time difference, I got the time 287 seconds? I am really confused about these two numbers. Why gprof only accumlated 7.2

dear I need to know the execution time of the program. Below is just an example. I used to use gprof. But in this case, the error messsage says "gprof : gmon.out file is missing call-graph data". Is it possible to 'gprof' with this ? Or it will be nice if someone introduce how to measure execution time...... Thankyou for comment.

I am using gprof, and as explain in http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/manual/gprof-2.9.1/html_node/gprof_18.html#SEC18 I could use the "-g -pg -a" options of gcc and then use the "-l -A" options of gprof to obtain an anotated source listing at the basic bloc level. Unfortunately my version of gcc (4.0.0) does not recognize the "-a" option. cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-a"

hi all , i want to find out how accurate is the result of gprof ? i want to find the optimized version of my program takes how much time and unoptimized takes how mch? i have tried gettimeofday(), clock() and other such functions ...but i was not getting proper consistent answer always .... also my code is quite small so that i want to trace its runtime which is in microseconds hence i need some way to measure its exectuion time at very...

When I use gprof to profile a program, it seems never show me the profile info on c lib routines such as malloc. But sometimes, profile info on such c lib routines are also important. I use 'gcc -g -pg' to compile the c source. Should I use other options in order for gprof to show 'malloc'? Any more suggestions on program profiling? Thanks!

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
