One of the major changes in this release will be the removal of the opcontrol-based profiler since it's been deprecated for two releases already. Everyone should have been aware this change was coming. But another change that has not been communicated very well is the removal of the oprof_start GUI app. This app, in case you're unfamiliar with it, provides a means of setting up, running, and stopping oprofile using the opcontrol-based profiler. But, as I've said before, I find the GUI to be antiquated, hard to use, and buggy. >> >> About a year ago, Gilles Allard started to modernize the GUI to use pure qt4 (vs qt3), and I asked that the default profiler be changed to operf. Unfortunately, that effort lost momentum, so oprof_start remains unchanged. Gilles is willing to restart this work, but it's likely it would take some time (possibly several weeks) and effort that I'm not sure is worthwhile. So I ask the community to express their opinion on the issue with a 'yea' or 'nay' to the proposal below. If you say 'yea', please give a reason. > Correction . . . if you say "nay", please give a reason. > > -Maynard >> >> Proposal: Remove oprof_start GUI component from oprofile. Well, the silence has been deafening. I will interpret the non-response as agreement for removal of the oprof_start GUI component. If anyone disagrees, speak up now. -Maynard >> >> Thanks for your input. >> >> -Maynard >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
