Open Source C Source Code Analysis Tools for Linux

ParTools allows the interactive analysis of a C program execution profile and data dependencies to facilitate the discovery and selection of suitable parallelization candidates in a manual parallelization process. The flow does not assume any specific parallelization technique, thus it can be broadly applied. The original (serial) C source is automatically annotated to trace the execution profile and data dependencies at run-time. The annotated program is then executed using a significant (but small) data set selected by the developer. The data collected is cross-referenced with the original source and can be interactively analyzed graphically to determine the best parallelization candidates and techniques.

Note: this tool has moved to github, this repository is not maintained any more. See https://github.com/turdusmerula/ftrace GScopeLog is a tool for instrumenting c++ code through gcc. The main purpose is to trace entry/exit point of functions. A status file may be generated to give overview of functions calls and timing informations with minimal impact on performances.

Shiny is a lightning fast, fully documented & by-far-easiest-to-use C/C++/Lua profiler with no extensive surgery. Results are smoothed & shown in run-time as a call-tree or sorted-by-time. Output also renderable as graphs in Ogre3D or your custom engine
