I have repeated same procedure with my code using gprof but each time in text file is zero inspite of calling function many time
Great article! I dipped my toe because a gprof analysis was part of a class assignment . I had to develop the assignment code remotely (not inside the University Linux environment). The platform is a Raspberry P1 4, with a Ubuntu 20.04 Linux OS i(n order to assure 64-bit operation.)
The only hitch was unmasking gprof to the OS. That required removing and reinstalling binutils. Then it was step by step as this article describes. Everything went like clockwork.
Thanks for a good job!
Great article. Very easy to grasp.
Thanks!
