Original Author: DJ Delorie The SSP is a program that uses the Win32 debug API to run a program one ASM instruction at a time. It records the location of each instruction used, how many times that instruction is used, and all function calls. The results are saved in a format that is usable by the profiling pro- gram gprof, although gprof will claim the values are seconds, they really are instruction counts. More on that later. Note: I have submitted a timestamp printing some month ago to this list (or cygwin-apps I don't remember), but it does not seem to be included yet.
