There is a basic native pascal profiler named fprofiler. It's in the fpcprojects section in SVN. The basics work although there are a lot of optimizations possible. The profiler works by inserting timing calls in the actual code, by parsing it first. I wrote a wrapper for the compiler (named fpp) to handle that. http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/fpprofiler/trunk/?root=fpcprojects Would be nice to create an IDE addin for this tool for Lazarus at some point, never thought of that before.
