Thread: Mesure time elapsed for each statement execution

Hi all,

i have a C program, which works fine but i have some problems with the long times it takes to execute, so i want to find the execution times for each statement/functions take.

Im hoping to find some utility like gdb, so that i can "step" through the code execution ( like debugging ) and see how much time each statement/function takes to execute.

im trying to use the "maint time" option in gdb, but still couldnt get it to work.

any help/advice will be greatly a appreciated.

Thankx in advance.
Reg.

You mean gprof?

No, quite honestly i have never used gprof. ( doing some googling on it now )

i used gdb with --statistics switch, it displayes an "execution time" but it seems that its the exec time including both ( gdb time + actual program statement exec time )
