profiler, again

[David Levy]

I am a long time user of Visual C++ 6.0. For a variety of reasons I am now
running Vista and Visual C++ won't run there. I purchased Visual Studio 2008
Professional, which included a C++ compiler. Alas, I just learned that the
profile that shipped with 6.0 is not part of 2008 Professional. I would need
to buy the Visual Studio Team System. Having been forced to buy an unwanted
new operating system and then an unwanted new development environment, I'm
anxious to stop the bleeding/

Are there any other (inexpensive) solutions?

I think they had a managed code profiler available for download in their
site, some time ago. Do you want to profile managed code, native code,
or mixed code?

Native only.

Thanks

Native only.

Thanks

I suppose there are some free ones out there.

Er... Linux? What forced you to buy an unwanted new operating system?

How could you possibly even afford a copy of VSTS, anyway?!

I'm not aware of any free profilers for Windows (Linux would be a
different story).
From the commercial ones, AQtime seems to be a rather good one in my
experience.

AMD has a free profiler named CodeAnalyst that you might find useful.

As you'd expect, this is oriented primarily for use on AMD processors.
IIRC, it runs to some degree on Intel processors, but with substantial
limitations (though, of course, I can't guarantee that).
