How do I profile a c::b plugin?

[frithjofh]

Hello everybody,

I don't know how to attack this problem: a c::b plugin is a shared library, right? So how can I profile just that plugin? Do I have to set up a small test project serving as environment for the plugin, or how do I do it?

Many thanks for any help, regards

I think, oprofile on linux could do it, but it needs lots of reading and trying.
When I tried, I've failed to output something that can help me.

gprof, is not meant to profile apps and sharedlibs togather, unfortunately...

So it seems as if I would have to set up a minimal app, putting the code of the plugin into it, and fake (so to say) the plugins execution that way ...

Is this how you developers do it ( :? I'm not including myself as developer, I'm just a beginner  :? ), when you profile a library, or how ... ???
