C++ Code Profiler

Question

Can anybody recommend a good code profiler for C++?

I came across Shiny - any good? http://sourceforge.net/projects/shinyprofiler/

Answer 1

Quantify (part of the IBM/Rational PurifyPlus package) is a very good profiler, but not exactly cheap. It is available on several platforms, too - I've used it on Solaris, Windows and Linux.

Answer 2

You can use the analyzer that´s in Sun Studio 12 on Linux or Solaris. Itś free. http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/index.jsp

Answer 3

Callgrind for Unix/Linux

DevPartner for Windows

Answer 4

AQtime (for Windows)

Answer 5

Gprof if you use gcc. It may not be user friendly but still useful.
