[C++-sig] profiling C++ extensions

[Greg Landrum]

[Linux, python 2.1]
Hi All,

I'm not sure this is the appropriate forum for this question, but I figured 
I'd try here first.

I've got a Boostified C++ class that I'm using from Python.  The class 
supports pickling, but restoring things from pickles seems to be really, 
really slow.  I figured that I'd profile the code and find out where the 
time is being spent, but I ran into a wall.

I built both my extension modules and python itself with -pg.  Running a 
test case and looking at the gprof output only shows me numbers for the 
python interpreter itself.  This is none too edifying.

So, my question is: is there any way to trick the profiler into gathering 
data for the extension modules as well as the interpreter?

Thanks,
-greg
