Re: gprof question


What does it mean when the total CPU time reported by gprof is quite
different from the total CPU time measured by the operating system?

Or does this just tell us that 90% of the time was spend in library
routines and is therefore off the books?

Most likely, yes.


Link your program statically to get better results.
