While you are at it, I'd like to ask a query regarding gprof.

I have some code which will eventually go into a shared object, say libxyz.so. a.out will call a function in this shared object. Is there a way to profile the code in the shared object as well? I remember having read the man page and have not found a way...

Thanks.

Kumar

I managed to get a call-graph profile with the libxyz.so but I needed to compile it like this: gcc -c -shared glug.c -o libxyz.so -g -pg I will try to see if gcov can help here.

Anyway, my intention was to create an introductory doc like Anurag's on gdb.

I had written a article for Linux gazette on gprof sometime back. I think you might find it useful.

Yes. I've read it. Very useful. Come to think of it; I feel that linking to that article will serve the purpose I had in mind.

I had thought of writing a short write-up like what Anurag had written for gdb.

Please tell me what you think about it.
