I have searched the web with no luck in finding an answer to my question and am hoping someone here can answer it or point me in the direction of someone who can. We are using RHEL 4.0 AS on an Opteron machine. I am searching for a way to count the number of divides, logs, exponentials, etc. used during a C++ program. One suggested way, was to use GDB to debug the program/assembly code generated and count the number of interested instructions. I see that GDB offers a way to print out the program code in assembly language. I also see that GDB can output things to a file (default gdb.txt). I have also looked at the DDD tool. My question is this: Is there a way to execute the program with GDB and print every assembler line generated and used? This way - I can output all the lines to a file, and simply count the number of instructions that were used during the execution. Suggestions/ideas? Thanks, Sylvia N.
