| <p>The Linux Tools project provides Eclipse interfaces to a number of system tools sufficient to profile a C/C++ application. For example, the Valgrind plug-in provides the ability |
| to profile an application's memory usage while the Perf plug-in allows an end-user to acquire details regarding the amount of time taken in various functions or methods. |
| From the user point-of-view, the user wants to profile a C/C++ executable and this is available via the Profile as.. right-click context menu or via the Profile Configurations... dialog or via |
| the Profile button found next to the Debug and Run buttons at the top of the Eclipse Window.</p> |
| <p>Support exists for:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Valgrind (memcheck, massif, cachegrind, and helgrind sub-tools)</li> |
| <li>OProfile</li> |
| <li>Perf</li> |
| <li>SystemTap (using a systemtap script to get call-graph)</li> |
| <li>Gcov (code coverage)</li> |
| <li>GProf</li> |
