The code generation tools include a path profiling utility, armpprof, that is run from the compiler, armcl. The armpprof utility is invoked by the compiler when the --gen_profile or the --use_profile command is used from the compiler command line:
armcl --gen_profile ... file.c |
armcl --use_profile ... file.c |
For further information about profile-based optimization and a more detailed description of the profiling infrastructure, see Section 3.7.
