hi,
Is there any way to instrument specific set of functions using gcc -
finstrument_function
option.I see by using this option the whole code will be instrumented.
You can
avoid a function being instrumented by using attribute
'no_instrument_function".

My code is arranged in the following way;

parent_folder\
 - a\
 - b\
 - c\

folders a,b and c has C source and header files. Here i need to
instrument the functions
present only in folder "b", how can i do that; More over the functions
in "b" might call functions
in "a" or "c", they need to be instrumented as well.Is there any good
way of doing this.
Please point some other features of GCC if there are any.
btw, i am using GCC version 3.4.6 on a 2.6 linux kernel.

thanks
sinbad

Would it not make sense to use oprofile ?
