[Kprof-develop] adding two profiles

[Stefan H. <sh...@te...>]

Hi,

IMHO, for profiling a program it would be convenient to be able to examin=
e the=20
statistics of several program runs at once. I would like to be able to ru=
n my=20
program for example 10 times with different input creating=20
profile.1,...,profile.10 with gprof and then view the sum of these 10=20
profiles in kprof the same way I would view just profile.1.
The number of calls should be added, the "self seconds" should be added, =
the=20
"cumulative seconds" should be recreated from the new "self seconds" and =
so=20
on. Maybe this will be more difficult with the call graph... but it is=20
certainly doable.

With a quick search on google and freshmeat I could not find such a progr=
am=20
(that adds two outputs of gprof). If you are interested (and can provide =
some=20
guidance) I would implement this feature in kprof.

Bye,
Stefan Hetzl
