Questio on Gprof

[Joseph Koshy]

mk> What I want to know is that, is there an implementation of gprof
or any other
mk> profiler for bsd or any unixes which relies on instrumentation
only by inserting
mk> probes at the header and footer of the function ?

The Paradyn project offers an API for a few Unix-like OSes which
could be used for performance related instrumentation: see www.dyninst.org.
