Hello.
I am trying to profile multithreaded application (it works currently in Linux,
Windows and QNX).

First I tried gprof, but output was wrong (0.00 everywhere, after few minutes
of code execution). I read (in Usenet archive) that there is some workaround
for gprof to work with multithreaded apps but I can't find any more information
about it. Can you point me to one? 

I tried qprof (http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/qprof/), but I think it
works not like gprof, with default granularity output is very short, with small
granularity I get much more information but I am still not sure is it really
what I want. I failed giving qprof libunwind support, but I am working on it.

Then I tried cprof (http://cprof.sourceforge.net/), it requires recompiling
(like gprof), I am still trying to understand output :)

Is there anything else I should try?
