Description Akos Maroy 2005-07-04 13:52:34 UTC 
when compiling gstreamer and gst-plugins with -pg to enable profiling, not even
the gstreamer-related tools, like gst-inspect or gst-register work. they return
the following :

$ gst-inspect
Profiling timer expired
$ gst-register
Profiling timer expired

this doesn't make it possible to profile gstreamer...

gprof isn't a very interesting way to profile these days.  Any reason you're not
using, say, oprofile?
Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2005-07-11 12:14:46 UTC 
I'm using callgrind, which also works fine and gives somewhat usable data. I'd
recommend to use either of those for now.
