have to use the compiler switch \var{-pg}. The compiler wil insert the
necessary stuff for profiling.
When you have done this, you can run your program uder the gnu profiler,
\var{gprof}, as follows :
When you have done this, you can run your program as you normally would run
it.
\begin{verbatim}
gprog yourexe
yourexe
\end{verbatim}
Where \file{yourexe} is the name of your executable.
You may want to capture the outpus of the profiler in a file, since it can
be quite a lot, as follows:
When your program finishes a file called gmon.out is generated. Then you can start
the profiler to see the output. You can better redirect the output to a file, becuase
it could be quite a lot:
\begin{verbatim}
gprog yourexe >gprof.out
gprof yourexe > profile.log
\end{verbatim}
Hint: you can use the --flat option to reduce the amount of output of gprof. It will
then only output the information about the timings
For more information on the \gnu profiler \var{gprof}, see its manual.
