Re: Profiler?

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.

One additional one which I find even more convenient is sysprof on linux,
since it will monitor the whole system, you can start it whenever you want
(ie you don't have to profile since the startup of your application), and
has a nice GUI to examine the results
.
