Ways to Improve Performance

Profile-Based Optimization

The Startup File icrt0.o

The icrt0.o startup file uses the atexit system call to register the function that writes out profile data. (For 64-bit mode, the initialization code is in /usr/ccs/lib/pa20_64/fdp_init.0.) That function is called when the application exits.

atexit allows a fixed number of functions to be registered from a user application. Instrumented applications (those linked with -I) will have one less atexit call available. One or more instrumented shared libraries will use a single additional atexit call. Therefore, an instrumented application that contains any number instrumented shared libraries will use two of the available atexit calls.

For details on atexit, see atexit(2).

The -ILinker Option

When invoked with the -Ioption, the linker instruments all the specified object files. Note that the linker instruments regular object files as well as I-SOM files; however, with regular object files, only procedure call instrumentation is added. With I-SOM files, additional instrumentation is done within procedures.

For instance, suppose you have a regular object file named foo.o created by compiling without the +I option, and you compile a source file bar.c with the +I option and specify foo.o on the compile line:

$ cc -c foo.c

$ cc -v -o foobar -O +I bar.c foo.o /opt/langtools/lbin/cpp bar.c /var/tmp/ctm456 /opt/ansic/lbin/ccom /var/tmp/ctm456 bar.o -O2-I /usr/ccs/bin/ld /opt/langtools/lib/icrt0.o-u main -o foobar \

bar.o foo.o -I -lc

In this case, the linker instruments both bar.o and foo.o. However, since foo.o is not an I-SOM file, only its procedure calls are instrumented; basic blocks within procedures are not instrumented. To instrument foo.c to the same extent, you must compile it with the +I option — for example:

$ cc -v-c +I -O foo.c /opt/langtools/lbin/cpp foo.c /var/tmp/ctm432 /opt/ansic/lbin/ccom /var/tmp/ctm432 foo.o -O2 -I $ cc -v-o foobar -O +I bar.c foo.o /opt/langtools/lbin/cpp bar.c /var/tmp/ctm456 /opt/ansic/lbin/ccom /var/tmp/ctm456 bar.o -O2 -I /usr/ccs/bin/ld /opt/langtools/lib/icrt0.o -u main -o foobar \

bar.o foo.o -I -lc
