I would have recommended using oprofile on linux, which I greatly prefer to GCC's built-in profiling support for profiling C programs. It has a low and tunable overhead, and because it's a sampling profiler it doesn't perturb the results anywhere near as much as standard profiling instrumentation. Unfortunately last time I checked it had poor OCaml support (no support for unwinding the OCaml call stack, so no context-sensitivity in the profiles). That said, you probably don't need context-sensitivity to determine the fraction of execution time spent in the GC.
Peter - gprof with ocaml works quite well: http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/manual031.html Warren _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
