Hi,
Use "time ./demo_use" to see how long your program takes to run. Looking
at the data below you are using the timer interrupt mechanism that is
going to be sampling at a relatively low rate, e.g. 100 times a second.
If your program runs for a very short amount of time it is possible that
are now samples.
Another thing to keep in mind is that OProfile doesn't immediately write
the data to the sample databases. After running your program you
probably want to do the following to flush the data from the kernel buffer:
opcontrol --sync
You might also want to look at the "--seperate=library" for opcontrol to
associate samples for a shared library with the executable to determine
whether samples for libc.so.6 are for your ./demo_use or some other program.
