Any VTune users? Basic question.

I asked this on the Vtune forum but didn't get much response.

I follow the instructions on using the "release" build and adding the debug/full but all I get from VTune is a lump -- not broken out by routines (addressses which are way hard to read).  The only way I've been able to get it to work is to start with debug build and work backwards for optimizations.

What's the trick?  Linking with debug libs?  Wasting lots of time trying to get this to work.

You should be able to set /Zi in your release build compile and link steps, if you don't care about full detail from the libraries.  The analyzer will need the search paths set including the .pdb .obj and .exe.

Well, I'll give that a try.  Instructions may be lagging behind?

And /Zi seems to help with the release build and debug/full.  Thanks!

Oops -- spoke too soon.  That was with a debug build.  Release build even with /Zi doesn't work in VTune.

That tutorial doesn't mention the need to set the linker debug flag (in VS set Linker > Debugging > Generate debug info to yes).

Thanks, Ian.  I'll try that then.

Tutorials are of less use if they don't explain all the steps....

And it keeps complaining that I am using the debug configuration for the VTune.  :-)
