A profiler takes data that is generated by the program (when compiled the
the profiler flag enabled, so that it produced profiler data), and
produces a table listing the number of times functions were called, how
long was spent in that function, how long was spent in that function and
all sub-functions, and other various data.
Concerning C++: I did notice problems with C++ and GProf, and was
thoroughly annoyed by the generally useless results it gave... is there a
version of GProf, or a different program, that works well with C++ code?
If Prof itself works good, I might go strictly with that, but... as
everyone knows, GProf is better :-) (at least, more thorough).
I'm going to look at the version installed on the server, and the lastest
version available... see if it there is an update to better handle C++
code.
