Benchmarking source code

[th3w4nd3r3r]

I want to the know tools available for profiling the C++ source code and also how to interpret its results.

Every development environment comes with a profiler - Quanity for IBM, analyze for Oracle, gprof for GNU and HP. (they work with the compiled C++ programs of course, not with source code directly). What's your environment?

I use gcc so I guess gprof works for me, thank you. I'll read it's documentation
