profiling C++ programs with prof

Like lprof(CP), prof accepts -C as an option which causes it to generate C++ symbol names in their decoded form.

Using prof with overload2.C, the same program we used in

``Profiling C++ programs with lprof'',

a sample session to compile, run and obtain time profiling and call count information would be as follows:

   $ CC -p -o overload2 overload2.C
   $ overload2
   

   in foo(void)
   in foo(int i), i = 1
   in foo(const char *s), s = string.....
   in foo(const char *s), s = string.....
   

   $ prof overload2
   

   Object: overload2
   

    %Time Seconds Cumsecs  #Calls   msec/call  Name
      0.0    0.00    0.00       1      0.      main
      0.0    0.00    0.00       2      0.      foo__FPCc
      0.0    0.00    0.00       1      0.      foo__Fi
      0.0    0.00    0.00       1      0.      foo__Fv
   

   

   $ prof -C overload2
   

   Object: overload2
   

    %Time Seconds Cumsecs  #Calls   msec/call  Name
      0.0    0.00    0.00       1      0.      main
      0.0    0.00    0.00       2      0.      foo(const char*)
      0.0    0.00    0.00       1      0.      foo(int)
      0.0    0.00    0.00       1      0.      foo(void)
