Hi,

I am having a problem trying to use prof or gprof with gcc !

My environment is aas follows:

M/C :  Sun Sparc 

O/S : 4.1.3
(no patches as of yet )

Gnu version : 2.2.2

prof requires a mon.out file which is suppoesed to be created by
using the -p flag.

Apparently, the gccc compiler does not generate this file and as
a result i cant use "prof".

How do I get around this problem ?
/* I tried the same thing with "cc" and it works fine */
/* but for a certain set of executables I cannot use "cc" */

Looks like  gcc puts the information required by "prof" into the
excutable itself and not into a the file mon.out...

Thanks in advance !!

Replies by e-mail would be appreciated..
