hi, i have written my own malloc and now I want to test it with a test program and use gprof to measure the performance.
my to programs are: malloc.c and tstmalloc.c.
how do i do this? I think it has something to do with -pg flag right?
thanks in advance
And how did you get as far as "thinking it's -pg"?
In the many minutes that have passed, did you try it to see what would happen?
Profiling with GProf
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
in the many minutes that have passed i have learned how to use it on a single program but not how to do it with my 2 programs. (where in the command to put it) any ideas for how to do that?
the command i use without the -pg is home> gcc -o tstmalloc -g -Wall -DSTRATEGY=1 malloc.c tstmalloc.c (strategy is only there to make my malloc use first-fit)
thanks again for helping me
So just add -pg and it should compile ALL the source files on that command line with profiling enabled.
Or have you already tried that, and found that it didn't work (in which case, you should have said so).

i have tried that and it didnt work. sorry for not saying so. if i put -pg in the end nothing happens (I get a new prompt but nothing more) and if I put it right after tstmalloc I get lots of errors about multiple definitions. so where should I add it?
thanks for helping me!
The following should work.
Code:gcc -pg -o tstmalloc tstmalloc.c malloc.c ./tstmalloc gprof gmon.out > profile.txt vi profile.txt
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
