Walkthrough - Viewing Performance Data

Related Topics

The second step in profiling is to view the performance data that Quantify has collected.

You can view the data from different angles using the Quantify data windows:

§          The Call Graph window, which is displayed when you exit your program, provides a graphical representation of the calling structure and performance of the functions in the program. By default, the call graph displays the top 20 functions in the current dataset by function + descendants (F+D) time.

§          The Function List window. displays all functions in the current dataset. You can sort the list to show, for example, the functions that consume the most time by themselves, or that consume the most time together with their descendant functions. To display the Function List window, click images\flic.gif

§          The Function Detail window displays data for a specific function, as well as data about its callers and descendants, in both tabular and graphical formats. To display the Function Detail window, click images\fdic.gif

§          The Annotated Source window displays line and function performance statistics on a copy of your source code. To display the Annotated Source window, select a function in the current window for which source code is available and click images\asic.gif. Note that debug data must be available to display this window.
