After presenting Valgrind as an emulation profiler, I will present Microsoft solution, Visual Studio Performance Tool. It is available in the Team Suite editions, and offers a sampling- and an instrumentation-based profiler. Of course, it is embedded in Visual Studio IDE and accessible from a solution.

I’ve played a little bit with Intel Parallel Studio. Let’s say it has been a pleasant trip out in the wildness of multithreaded applications.
Intel Parallel Studio is a set of tools geared toward multithreaded applications. It consists of three Visual Studio plugins (so you need a fully-fledged Visual Studio, not an Express edition):
This is an update of the review I’ve done for the beta version. Since this first review, I’ve tried the official first version.

Since this post, Intel has officially released Parallel Studio. This is why I’ve published a new, up-to-date review here.

Starting from Visual Studio 2005, every executable or dynamic library must declare the libraries it uses with a manifest file. This manifest can be embedded in the executable or library, and this is the best way to deal with it.
When using Scons, this embedding does not occur automatically. One has to overload the SharedLibrary builder so that a post-action is made after building the library :
def MSVCSharedLibrary(env, library, sources, **args): cat=env.OriginalSharedLibrary(library, sources, **args) env.AddPostAction(cat, 'mt.exe -nologo -manifest ${TARGET}.manifest -outputresource:$TARGET;2') return cat env['BUILDERS']['OriginalSharedLibrary'] = env['BUILDERS']['SharedLibrary'] env['BUILDERS']['SharedLibrary'] = MSVCSharedLibrary |
With this method, the embedding is made for every library, which is handy. The same can be done for the Program builder with the line :
env.AddPostAction(cat, 'mt.exe -nologo -manifest ${TARGET}.manifest -outputresource:$TARGET;1') |
