Has anyone out there used the Think LSP profiler? My partner and I
just spent two days sorting out some very strange and mysterious
problems that just disappeared when we got rid of the profiler. Some
of the problems were with WITH statements "forgetting" which record
they were using, proc pointer addresses not being valid at the
strangest times, dialog user items not being drawn, and many crashes.
Debugging this was an exercize in frustration. We started out
thinking that we were just a bit thick and that we simply must be
missing something. We ended up thinking that the profiler was a piece
of refuse to be avoided at all costs.
We still need some timing analysis, but the Think profiler seems way
too dangerous to use. Anyone have any hints or suggestions?
