This leaves gmon.out files around, which you can then do a "gprof /usr/bin/postmaster gmon.out" to see whats going on.
My problem is that this gives me data on what functions are being called with respect to the postmaster binary, but I don't know
which of my functions - in my shared library - in my C procedure are taking the most time.

Is compiling postmaster with profiling support just a flag
in the build/make? Or is there something more involved?
I'd like to be able to do this in the future and so am
curious about means/methods.
If this is a RTFM, just let me know that (am currently Reading The F Manual), but if you have any "special sauce"
here, that'd be of great interest.
Thanks

I wanted to see if I could squeeze any more performance out of a C set returning function I wrote. As such, I looked to a profiler. Is it possible to get profile information on the function I wrote? I've got postmaster and my function compiled with profiling support, and can find the gmon.out files... can I actually look at the call tree that occurs when my function is being executed or will I be limited to viewing calls to functions in the postmaster binary?
