This may be of general interest so I am replying to the group. We use profiling with C++ and found we had to use a small kludge to get things to go through. As I understand it, the profiler uses its own version of the standard c library, in particular the usual exit code is replaced to by an exit that creates the gmon.out file. C++ merrily takes over exit thus preventing this file from being written. One simple way out is to use ar to suck out exit.o from the C++ libC.a file and then link to that instead. This means that global destructors will not be called - that has not been a problem for us. Presumably, what is required to do it properly would be to adjust the C++ exit code to do the right thing (A profiled libCp.a ?).
