Is there a port of gprof (the BSD profiler) that runs under Unix V relese 3 or 4? Of course the compiler must support it too. If not, is there some Unix V tool that gives the same kind of information that gprof gives. We are maintaining a BSD system *just for gprof* ... and it is getting expensive and difficult to justify; but it is such a useful tool! tnx. jb.

The only compiler support needed is to have some flag to the compiler driver ("cc") cause it to link with the graph-profiled version of the C startup code rather than the ordinary-profiled version; the actual code generated (at least on any system I've used) is the same for "cc -p" and "cc -pg".

Encore Computer Corp.'s UMAX V operating system comes with gprof (and RCS and other useful utilities). UMAX V is a parallellized version of AT&T's UNIX System V Release 3.2 and runs on Encore's Multimax and 90 series. It may not help you directly, but at least now you know that it has been done before. -- Robert Claeson |Reasonable mailers: rclaeson@erbe.se ERBE DATA AB | Dumb mailers: rclaeson%erbe.se@sunet.se Jakobsberg, Sweden | Perverse mailers: rclaeson%erbe.se@encore.com Any opinions expressed herein definitely belongs to me and not to my employer.
