Re: IVF 10.0 Win/VS 2005 Profiling

I can find all sorts of information on using Profile Guided Optimization
using /Qprof-gen and then /Qprof-use. But this is for optimizing during
compile. What I need is to see line times for an older version of a
project versus a newer version.

Intel's documentation does not seem to be very lucid on this.

Some progress: Need to use /Qprof-genx; compile with this flag; Run code;
Use profmerge.exe to turn *.dyn into *.dpi file; Use the codecov.exe to
create coverage information in html format.

But would like to get actual time spent by line or subroutine call. All I
can find in the codecov.exe options are a -counts option which report counts
by line. Need something like this, but with actual time.

As you've seen, the purpose of these profiling options is to get data on
relative frequency of branches etc. Running in an un-optimized mode, it
is not useful for actual timings.
As Steve already mentioned, Intel's primary offering for time and event
profiling is VTune; secondary offering is PTU (see
softwarecommunity.intel.com/forums). Other possibilities would be
oprofile based profilers, or a compiler which supports gprof (as Intel
linux compilers do),...
