Re^3: Profiling the C side of an Inline::C module

I'd be willing to recompile Perl if that would do it, but I'd like to hear that someone has done it successfully before first. My programmer's intuition is telling me it won't work...

Alright, I've never done that exact thing (I've done debugging of Inline C code with gdb and a perl with debugging symbols, though), but I'd be extremely surprised if the combination of compiling perl and your inline c code with '-pg' didn't work correctly. What exactly about your intuitions tells you it won't?

The 'gprof' program wants to look at 'a.out' to interpret the contents of the generated 'gmon.out'. Assuming 'a.out' is a specially-prepared Perl, I don't see how it could have the data needed to interpret calls to my module's code. I could be wrong though, I'm just going by what I've read of the manual. -sam	[reply]

Wouldn't it only take about 20 minutes to compile a new version of perl and find out? (Are you mostly familiar with Windows perchance?)	[reply]
