CVF profiler (is this still supported?)

ferrad · ‎03-29-2007

A colleague of mine is still using CVF and is trying to use the profiler. He has the following question:

"My understanding, after adjusting project settings, is to execute the following commands:

PREP /at programname.exe

PROFILE programname

PLIST /st programname > output.txt

However, if I do this, I get an error message "PLIST : warning PRF4481: clock frequency is zero." It seems that I also need a /M option in the PREP command, but I cannot seem to get it to work.

My aim is to time each subroutine, and it seems I should be able to do it w/ this set of commands. Can you help?

Ferrad,

Intel has a product named vTune. AMD has a product named CodeAnalyst. If you are serious about in-depth analysis of the program and are on Intel platform then consider vTune. If statistical sampling (timer based sampling) is adequite then try CodeAnalyst (it is free). Although CodeAnalyst is intended for AMD processors, the timer based sampling works fine.
