I came across some google pages (one is on this forum) on using gprof to profile a c program. I tested gprof usage by compiling a hello world program but when it comes to profiling my real program it seems to not work. I say this because it does not produce gmon.out file.

To complicate things I had to manually link my program.

For hello world I do this

cc -pg a.c

For my program I have lots of objects file which I compile with the same -pg switch and I then make an archive .a file with command "ar". Then I link like this

xld -o program lib_mine.a other_libs.so

A google search shows to use gcrt0.a just after program in above line as well as using -lc_p in above line. Both does not work. For a start, "locate gcrot0.a" gives nothing but there is "gcrot1.a".

Can someone give me some suggesstion?

Thanks
