Profile Static or Shared Libraries

[pshrew]

I'm interested in knowing if static or shared libraries can be profiled as well as the source that is using them.  It appears that they cannot be.

Hi pshrew,

When you say 'profile,' are you referring to execution profiling with the LabWindows/CVI Execution Profiler Toolkit?  Also, what kind of static and shared libraries are you looking to profile?  Would these be C libraries?

Thanks,

Myriam

Hi Myriam,

Yes, the excecution profiler is what I'm referring to.  The static/dynamic libraries I'm referring to are C coded libs also made with CVI.

Thanks,

Hi pshrew,

In the Build Options dialog box (Options>>Build Options), try setting the Profiling option to "User functions and other calls."  If you take a look at the Help document linked below, it explains that this setting allows you to profile functions, as well as calls to other library objects.  Is this what you are looking for?
