                        Doesn't your compiler support some sort of profiling
                        option (e.g., gcc has the -pg option which generates
                        output for the gprof tool).


                You can try using EEL (Executable Editing Library) from
                  http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/warts.html.


                  This page also has a pointer to the QPT and PP profilers
                          which might do your work for you.
