I wrote a small C++ app to copy a newer version of a different executable from a server to a client PC, but every time my program runs, it creates a file called GMON.OUT in the local directory. What is this file for, and why is it being created?

I have heard some talk about this differently, but my understanding of code profiling is it is the collection of data detailing the time spent in each code module. This tells you where you might want to start optimizing, among other things....

It's a file generated by the profiler gprof. Goto Tools / Compiler Options / Code Generation and un-check "Generate profiling info for analysis"
