[PATCH 3/3] Cygwin: updates to wire in profiler, gmondump

2021-07-15 Thread Mark Geisert
These are updates to wire into the build tree the new tools profiler and gmondump, and to supply documentation for the tools. The documentation for profiler and ssp now mention each other but do not discuss their similarities or differences. That will be handled in a future update to the

[PATCH 2/3] Cygwin: New tool: gmondump

2021-07-15 Thread Mark Geisert
This new tool was formerly part of 'profiler' but was spun out thanks to Jon T's reasonable review comment. Gmondump is more of a debugging tool than something users might have need for. Users would more likely use gprof to make use of symbolic info like function names and source line numbers.

[PATCH 1/3] Cygwin: New tool: profiler

2021-07-15 Thread Mark Geisert

I adjusted the column widths because there seems to be a lot of unused space, which makes for a very wide window. But when I restart the Cygwin setup application, the columns return to their default widths. Could a feature be added to save the column widths from run to run? -- Jim Reisert AD1C,
