OProfile

I do apologise for asking a stupid question.

If we would like to use op_to_source,
does it make sense to run this whilst the program is executing,
or if we should wait until execution is over?

There is no need to wait, as long as there is a sample file for the binary (i.e. you might need to run op_dump first). The profiler does not affect the running of binaries at all. regards john -- "It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims." - Aristotle
