Many people have expressed interest in getting g++ to support the -p
and -pg profiling options.  Until the 1.36 release the profiling
situation looked grim...  However, it appears now that there is at
least some support for profiling with g++ on machines that use GNU gas
and GNU ld.  To get it working simply apply this patch:

*** cplus-decl.c.~1~    Wed Oct 11 07:37:53 1989
--- cplus-decl.c        Wed Oct 11 21:30:42 1989

*** 2444,2451 ****
    current_binding_level = NULL_BINDING_LEVEL;
    free_binding_level = NULL_BINDING_LEVEL;
  
!   if (profile_flag)
!     fatal ("profiling not yet supported in GNU C++");
    if (profile_block_flag)
      fatal ("`-a' profiling not yet supported in GNU C++");
    if (write_symbols == GDB_DEBUG)
--- 2444,2451 ----
    current_binding_level = NULL_BINDING_LEVEL;
    free_binding_level = NULL_BINDING_LEVEL;
  
! /*  if (profile_flag)
!     fatal ("profiling not yet supported in GNU C++"); */
    if (profile_block_flag)
      fatal ("`-a' profiling not yet supported in GNU C++");
    if (write_symbols == GDB_DEBUG)

Remember that g++ mangles names; it may take a little while to get
familiar with the output from prof or gprof!

I'm sure if I've forgotten anything someone will remind me ;-)
