What's your favorite profiling tool (for C++) [closed]
For linux development (although some of these tools might work on other platforms). These are the two big names I know of, there's plenty of other smaller ones that haven't seen active development in a while.
- Valgrind
- TAU - Tuning and Analysis Utilities
For Linux: Google Perftools
- Faster than valgrind (yet, not so fine grained)
- Does not need code instrumentation
- Nice graphical output (--> kcachegrind)
- Does memory-profiling, cpu-profiling, leak-checking
