</pre></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="profiler-desc"></a><h2>Description</h2><p>The <span class="command"><strong>profiler</strong></span> utility executes a given program and
|
|
any children of that program, collecting the location of the CPU
|
|
instruction pointer (IP) many times per second. (It is optional to
|
|
collect this info from child processes.) This info gives a profile
|
|
of the program's execution, showing where the most time is being spent.
|
|
This profiling technique is called "IP sampling".</p><p>A novel feature of <span class="command"><strong>profiler</strong></span> is that time spent in
|
|
DLLs loaded with or by your program is profiled too. You use
|
|
<span class="command"><strong>gprof</strong></span> to process and display the resulting profile
|
|
information. In this fashion you can determine whether your own code,
|
|
the Cygwin DLL, or another DLL has "hot spots" that might benefit from
|
|
tuning.</p><p>(See also <span class="command"><strong>ssp</strong></span>, another profiler that
|
|
operates in a different fashion: stepping by instruction. This can
|
|
provide a different view on your program's operation.)</p><p>Here is an example of <span class="command"><strong>profiler</strong></span> operation:</p><pre class="screen">
