ubuntu - gprof produce salida vacía

profiling

Question

Estoy ejecutando Ubuntu 16.10 y tratando de perfilar un programa usando gprof. -pg con la bandera -pg y el programa es de un solo hilo. Los comandos de compilación reales son:

g++ -I. -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -O3 -pg -fPIC -Wno-unused-parameter -c -o build/obj/performance/stencil_application.o test/performance/stencil_application.cpp
g++ -I. -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -O3 -pg -Wno-unused-parameter build/obj/performance/stencil_application.o -o build/test/performance/stencil_application

El programa tarda unos segundos en finalizar cuando lo ejecuto, y se produce un archivo llamado gmon.out. Sin embargo, cuando ejecuto gprof ./build/test/performance/stencil_application , el resultado que obtengo no contiene números. Solo obtengo los encabezados de la tabla y la explicación de los diferentes campos, como este:

Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls Ts/call Ts/call name
% the percentage of the total running time of the
time program used by this function.
cumulative a running sum of the number of seconds accounted
seconds for by this function and those listed above it.
self the number of seconds accounted for by this
seconds function alone. This is the major sort for this
listing.
calls the number of times this function was invoked, if
this function is profiled, else blank.
self the average number of milliseconds spent in this
ms/call function per call, if this function is profiled,
else blank.
total the average number of milliseconds spent in this
ms/call function and its descendents per call, if this
function is profiled, else blank.
name the name of the function. This is the minor sort
for this listing. The index shows the location of
the function in the gprof listing. If the index is
in parenthesis it shows where it would appear in
the gprof listing if it were to be printed.

Call graph (explanation follows)
granularity: each sample hit covers 2 byte(s) no time propagated
index % time self children called name
This table describes the call tree of the program, and was sorted by
the total amount of time spent in each function and its children.

y así.

También he intentado compilar sin -O3 y con -g , pero con el mismo resultado. ¿Alguien sabe lo que está mal?

Answer 1

Como se señaló en el comentario de Tony Beta Lambda arriba, este es un error en gcc . Hay dos soluciones posibles: degradar a gcc-4.9 o compilar con la bandera -no-pie .
