Samples - Line By Line View (Profiling Perspective)

This view automatically displays as part of the Profiling perspective. You can also open this

view from the Window menu by pointing to Show View, clicking Other..., expanding

Profiling, and double-clicking Samples - Line By Line.

This view uses the gmon.out profiling data to show a breakdown of program execution by line

of source code executed. An entry for each code line sampled during profiling appears in a

table.

The table consists of the following columns for each table entry. Refer to GNU Profiler

documentation for explanations of each of the columns.

Function name

Filename

Line number

Percent time

Cumulative time

Self time

Number of times called

Self time per call

Total time per call

Clicking on the title of any column sorts the data by that column. Clicking a second time

inverts the sort order.

Note: You can load the source code for functions displayed in this view into the Editor

view. To do this, right-click the file name, and then click Show Source.
