why gmon.out is always limited to 470k ?
Hello! I'm trying to profile long running application, however gmon.out never grows more than 470k (I'm running OpenBSD-5.2/amd64 if that matters) is there special trick for long running application profiling ? Cheers, Ilya Shipitsin

There seems to be a problem with your setup... I've had much larger profiles in the past.

Cheers, Ilya Shipitsin That's a feature. Profile information is stored in counters per address range. The file won't grow in time. Size is determined by by a call to profile(2), normally done by monstartup(3). -Otto
