#44628: gprof for Mac via MacPorts ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ben.haefele@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: | Keywords: gprof Port: N.A. | ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ben.haefele@…): Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
/usr/bin/gprof is included in OS X but it's probably BSD gprof not GNU gprof.
GNU gprof is part of binutils, isn't it? We have a binutils port, but it doesn't install gprof; I don't know why. Maybe GNU gprof is not compatible with OS X. Or maybe gprof is not installed by default, but could be, by some means. If you can figure out what those means are, let us know.
Yes, gprof is part of binutils. It is not installed in /usr/bin/gprof/on my machine?!? There are some problems, e.g. with g++/gcc-mp-4.8/2.9 the flag -pg does not work..... see: [https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2012/09/14/mac/] If there is a compiler which handles the flag "-pg" and therefore produces "gmon.out" I could test gprof. First question would be which compiler implementation can handle the relevant flag "-pg"!?! Or am I on the wrong track? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44628#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
