Re: [Mingw-users] gprof and binutils

[Dongsheng S. <don...@gm...>]

PS:
If your source code only in main, then gprof does not out put anything of
your code.
For example, the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
  int i;
  for(i = 0; i < 1000000; i ++)
    strtod("0.123", NULL);
  return 0;
}

Profile out put like this (no main function):

Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
  %   cumulative   self              self     total
 time   seconds   seconds    calls  Ts/call  Ts/call  name

 14.46      0.42     0.12                             dtoa_lock
  9.64      0.50     0.08                             __lshift_D2A
  7.23      0.56     0.06                             __Balloc_D2A
  7.23      0.62     0.06                             __Bfree_D2A
  6.02      0.67     0.05                             __d2b_D2A
  6.02      0.72     0.05                             __diff_D2A
  6.02      0.77     0.05                             __strtod
  2.41      0.79     0.02                             __cmp_D2A
  1.20      0.80     0.01                             __mult_D2A
  1.20      0.81     0.01                             __multadd_D2A
  1.20      0.82     0.01                             __pow5mult_D2A
  1.20      0.83     0.01                             rvOK

But the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void test()
{
  int i;
  for(i = 0; i < 1000000; i ++)
    strtod("0.123", NULL);
}

int main()
{
  test();
  return 0;
}


have useful out put like this (have test function):
