Does anyone have experience with profiling share objc libraries (I'm
working on debian unstable intel).
I've had a good deal of luck with oprofile (which requires a kernel
component) for debugging gnustep. With a 2.6.12 kernel, a kernel patch is
not required even for the callgraph support. Simply compile with debug
symbols, start the oprofile daemon, run your program (in fact, you can even
start oprofile daemon while the program is running, i believe, if you want
to
just profile a certain section). Oprofile can even output gprof compatible
output.
Thanks ... I'm already in the process of downloading the kernel packages etc
to try oprofile (I don't have broadband) as it was the next thing I was
going to try.
Good to hear that it works well ...
I had forgotten that callgrind existed (though I use valgrind quite often)
... so perhaps I'll look at that too.
