Howdy, I've been searching for a while with google to see if a similar topic was discussed but I didn't find a good explanation. Here is my problem. I would like when using the gprof( -pg option on the compile line) to be able to dump the info generated into a file that has the PID embedded somewhere in the name(something like gmon.out.2222 where 2222 is the process id for the program I am profiling). It is particularly usefull when profiling MPI programs and you would like to have individual traces for individual processes. It is a fairly easy fix but I am wondering if there is a philosophical issue that doesn't allow this to be included in the main branch of gcc. Most of the profile tools I know(valgrind, profile tools on IRIX) attach the PID to the trace... Thanks, Gabi
