C++ Profiler

[Andy]

Can anyone recommed a good profiler, to find where the majority of my code
execution lies?

I have Visual Studio C++ .NET, if there is a good one in there...


Thanks!

I think you will find that posting to a newsgroup where your inquiry
would be on topic will bring you much more useful information. I can
recommend either comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 (the OS NG) or
microsoft.public.vc.language (the compiler NG). Profilers are extremely
platform-specific and hence discussions about them does not really
belong to a language newsgroup. Just a thought...

DevPartners has a product that integrates well IMHO.
I have found it useful.

There's even a Community (Free) Version although it only works in
Debug.

Thanks, I'll check that out, and the newsgroups Victor suggested.

I did not mind which platform it was on, which is why I asked here. Also,
wanted the opinion of C++ experts instead of Windows experts.

Quantify, originally from PureSoft, now Rational, er, IBM, is a great
tool for performance analysis. I haven't seen anything matching its
capabilities. However, it is a while since I have used.

There's one built-in to the Digital Mars C++ compiler at

Some other ways to profile code are at

The answer differs with the platform, both in terms of available tools and
in terms of the relative time taken by different parts of your code.

I guess that makes sense, yeh. Thanks.
