How do I enable code profiling in ns-3 ?

[gglggl]

Can someone give me details on how to enable profiling with ns-3.6,
not obvious from the waf command line options.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8 on Intel.
Thanks,
G

Hi,

What you can do is too configure ns-3 to optimized
CXXFLAGS='-g' ./waf configure -d optimized
then build: ./waf build
then use valgring: ./waf --run yourprogam --command-template="valgrind
--tool=callgrind --time-stamp=yes %s"

Then you should get a file callgrind.out.xxxxx.
After you need a program to visualise the result file, such as
KCachegrind.

For mac OS X:
http://kcachegrind.darwinports.com/
http://www.maccallgrind.com/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ccg/

I am not on Mac OS X so I didnt try any of those.

Regards

Thanks but when I add the --command-template arguments I get an error
saying my program can't be found - is this the correct syntax ? :

./waf --run "scratch/mywifi-simple-adhoc4 --numPackets=10 --
distance=650" --command-template="valgrind--tool=callgrind --time-
stamp=yes %s"

I think you should not pass arguments inside the --run option, in this case. put them inside the --command-template instead.  Try this:

./waf --run "scratch/mywifi-simple-adhoc4" --command-template="valgrind --tool=callgrind --time-stamp=yes %s --numPackets=10 --distance=650"

I think, you can safely drop the CXXFLAGS assignment, because
optimized version is built with -g option on its own.
