Profiling vc++ applications
I've been using Intel's VTune 6 and it works very well. It uses a very
non-intrusive statistical analysis to find the hot-spots in your application
(or anything running on the system for that matter). You don't need to have
the linker instrument your code, thereby introducing a sort of heisenburg
effect.
All you need to do is make sure you generate 'program database' (.pdb) debug
info in your release builds and VTune will show were your app spends its
time right down to the line of code.
