Hi, you wrote:

Oops, indeed I only have used PC sampling on my linux box.
But, according to "man gprof" on Alpha/OSF1 V4.0, there are also tools
name atom, hiprof and others. I don't know if these are also GNU or
specific to this unix implementation. At least the manpage for hiprof
says it uses instrumented code rather than PC sampling.
