gprof/purify/quantify

Phil,

I was curious as to whether you had ever run some sort of profiling tool such as Gprof (GNU) or Quantify (IBM/Rational) as well as memory leak detection tools such as Purify (IBM/Rational) or Insure++(Parasoft). If you already have or do currently, then I won't waste time trying it myself :)

Thanks for all the help and work on this!

I've used ValGrind to check for leaks whenever I suspect one to have occurred but in general the C++ stuff tends to fall in a heap whenever it is instrumented as the timing between it and the video devices gets screwed up. I've no evidence of any leaks at the moment though, touch wood. I've not used any profiling on it yet though I have done my own timing tests. I should try gprof I think but purify/quantify (which I have used in the past) are both beyond my (zero) budget at present.

Phil,
