Profiling in Visual C++ Express

[jdart]

As another poster mentioned AMD has a free tool for download (http://developer.amd.com/cpu/codeanalys ... fault.aspx). I tried this and it does produce interesting reports. Integrates nicely with VC++ too.

I'll give it a try, thanks

There are some manual quick to use codeanalyst?

I would like to know % of the time used for each function of the program to find bottlenecks.

Run it and read the output ?

If you need a manual for this ( or rather: ask before trying), you might want to reconsider taking chessprogramming as a hobby.

There is a manual - just go to the download page and look for:

CodeAnalyst for Windows Documentation

I suppose that the next version of your program will play better than Rybka 3.0, otherwise I do not understand your comment.

In addition, you confuse speed with bacon, as it does not need to use a tool as codeanalyst to build an engine, I am sure that more than half of the programmers do not use a tool as it is.

My problem with this tool is that I've tried to use it on Virtual PC and after that I did not get the name of the functions, but your reply not served me a lot.

What does that mean ? You're not allowed to say something unless you can write a strong engine ?

This doesn't really make any sense

You should have said this before, this makes sense. My point was that if you can't figure out how Code Analyst works, then you must be close to an idiot ( well, I can say now, cause you're not).

If however it doesn't work correct, that makes it different.

Maybe it was designed to not work. Profiling on a virtual machine doesn't really make sense. You're not profiling the code, you're profiling the hardware (virtualization) capabilities.

Furthermore, CA seems to need some kind of hardware clock, wich might not be available in virtual mode.

I think you have to go for realmode.

( I'll see if I can get it to work with one of my virtual machines.)

Cheers,
