Does anyone know of any C execution profiler similar to "pxp". What I need is a graphical representation of the flow of the program, and an execution history. Vasanthan csnet: sivagnan@colostate.edu bitnet: VASA@CSUGREEN

Generally, UNIX systems provide a "cc -p" option that will produce an execution profile data file, which can then be displayed with the "prof" utility. Some versions of "prof" support graphic output, usually standard UNIX plot(4) format, and sometimes there is a "gprof" utility. Check your local manual. (By the way, the permuted index should have found "prof" for you.) For execution history, I usually use "ctrace". Unfortunately many Berkeley-based UNIXes don't supply it..
