On what platform?


On Linux, look at valgrind (http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj).
From cachegrind (one of valgrind's "skins") description:


    If you desire, it will show the number of cache misses, memory
    references and instructions accruing to each line of source code,
    with per-function, per-module and whole-program summaries. If you
    ask really nicely it will even show counts for each individual
    x86 instruction.
