[fa.info-vax] VAX VMS Profiler

From: Todd.Kueny@CMU-CS-G.ARPA

Is there a general purpose program monitor (say, similar to
the monitor stuff under UNIX) available for VMS?  We have several
large programs made up of assembler, C, and other awful stuff which
we need to monitor.  A simple PC histogram would be okay.

Does such a thing exist?

I'm pretty sure that there is a profiler for VMS available from
DECUS - it's quite good, and uses the DEBUG traceback records
to give you module-name, routine and line-number.

Actually, I'm not certain that this package was ever submitted to
DECUS, but we did have it in-house.  Also, there was a very strong
rumor that VMS V4 would have profiling tools available also.  Get
someone who's going to DECUS to ask the people wearing DEC badges
about this....
