C profiler Aprof or other

[arti]

I was looking for C profiler on Amiga and found Aprof on aminet.
It looks good. Detects all functions of profiled program but crashes when I press Start:

I've compiled gcc program with -g switch.
Any one here have experience with Aprof ?

Try increasing the stack? I've used it in the past without problems. I think with GCC code.

Dunno whether Aprof uses the "gcc" method, so YMMV.

For gprof, at least you would need to set -pg.

wouldn't it be simpler to profile your app on a windows machine if everything else fails? or with AROS & Linux?

I know this may give different results because not the same CPU but still...

Yes, Aprof works with gcc http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/AProf334
Compiling with -g shows program funcs.
Demo example works.

It means CPU has executed trap #13 instruction (and there is no proper handler for it). Odd. It looks like if the program wasn't compiled for Amiga but for something else, however it could just be the program having gone haywire.

Couldn't get aprof to play nice with a sizable executable (~1mb, angband) compiled with gcc. Always was crashing on me. I tuned stack up to 1mb and kept crashing. I gave up

Michael Bienz author of Aprof has just released it's sources.
Maybe someone more experienced can fix problems with crashes.

There is also nice documentation https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0...kyX1kzSm5BV0Vn

compiling with -g generates debug infos for a debugger and is not needed for Aprof - maybe even confusing it.

The symbols are mandatory and those are present if the executable was not stripped.
