What is a good easy to use profiler for C++ on Linux? [closed]
I need to profile some code running C++ on Linux. Can you guys recommend some profilers?
Use gprof.
Just compile with -pg flag (I think (but am not sure) you have to turn of optimizations though.) and use gprof to analyze the gmon.out file that your executable will then produce.
eg:
gcc -pg -o whatever whatever.c
./whatever
gprof whatever gmon.out
Same thing with g++ and cpp.
valgrind is a well-know linux profiler
