Re: Profiling and inlining

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I've done both. Though mostly instrumetation-based, since I was
interested in measures for which specific lines in a few big functions
were most costly. Quantify does this easily, and I don't think VS
2005's profiler does it. And it seems to me that Quantify only does
instrumetation based profiling. But I might be wrong.

Why are you suggesting that I stay away from instrumentation
based-profiling?

I've tried the profiler built in to Visual Studio 2005 and I've tried
IBM Rational's Quantify. Both of them seem to somehow cause the JIT not
to do inlining (it probably doesn't do any optimizations).

Are you doing sample-based profiling and staying well away from
instrumentation-based profiling?
