Hello. I am having problems profiling an application and was wondering if somebody there may help me. I think the problem is that one of our libraries break -pg instrumentation. I tried to make this post as short as possible. Forgive me if I did'nt make it. This library hide portabilities issues under a portable interface, allowing us to run in console mode, in daemon mode in unices or as a service in windows. As you may guess, it is a complex library that do a lot of things. I do not know which of these are hurting -pg. This pseudocode is a description of what I am doing. void a() {} void b() { for(int i=0; i < 10000; ++i) a(); } void f() {} void g() { for(int i=0; i < 10000; ++i) f(); } class MyModule() ... { public: ... void operator()() { ... // *2 for(int i=0; i < 10000; ++i) g(); return; } } myModule( .... ); int main() { ... // *1 for(int i=0; i < 10000; ++i) b(); mylib::registerModule(myModule); mylib::run(); // create a thread per module ... } The problem is that the profiling information contain time information for b() and a() but no for g() and f(). On the other hand the call count is the same. --- gprof output --- Flat profile: Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds. % self self total time seconds calls ms/call ms/call name 50.00 0.22 10000 0.02 0.04 a() 29.55 0.13 100000000 0.00 0.00 b() 20.45 0.09 1 90.00 90.00 _static_init 0.00 0.00 100000000 0.00 0.00 f() 0.00 0.00 10000 0.00 0.00 g() ... --- end of gprof output --- Note: I already try making a sigprocmask, pthread_mask to unblock SIGPROF in *1 and *2. I also verifíed that the signal handler of SIGPROF is the same in *1 and *2, it is a valid pointer, not SIG_DFL nor SIG_IGN. If somebody can help will make me happy.
