Does anyone know of a good profiler for programs written in Ada?


If I try to make an assumption (and I could get this wrong) and assume
by Ada you mean GNAT and then assume that perhaps you mean Linux I can
say that gprof is actually an "ok" profiler. It is not great but it gets
the job done.


Based in that same assumption, I've used successfully valgrind and
kcachegrind with nice results, also for multitasking programs. Oprofile was
in my list of things to look at that I never reached.


Thanks for the reminder. Since a lot of my work is still Sparc Solaris based I always forget to mention valgrind.

The combination of valgrind and kacachegrind is actually quite powerful and pr(though large programs do tend to run quite slowly under valgrind).

I also toyed with oprofile a while back and did not find it as useful (in the case I was working with) as valgrind/kcachegrind but I did not spend enough time with it to be sure.
