[net.micro] PC Profilers.

roy@gitpyr.UUCP (Roy Mongiovi) (05/20/86)

Does anyone out there know anything about the PC profilers I've
been seeing ads for?  Do they all divide memory up into paragraphs
and then report utilization by combining data on when each of those
paragraphs was executing with the names/addresses from the load map?
Or do some give more info?  Thanks for any details you give me.

Pfinish, from Phoenix Software Associates in Norwood, MA, can profile
entry to and exit from a function by placing breakpoints like a
debugger would (I.E. no special compilation required, as long as your
object file has symbols).   I can't comment on whether it works, since
I have never used it, but it has been around for quite a while, and I
have heard that it works.
