profiler appears to only profile main thread for OS X 10.5 #156

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a multithreaded program on OS X, linking libprofiler.dylib
2. Run with CPUPROFILE set
3. Observe results

What is the expected output? 
I expected to see calls from all threads

What do you see instead?
I saw calls only from the main thread

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
perftools 1.3;  OS X 10.5

Please provide any additional information below.
I tried calling ProfilerRegisterThread() from the main thread and secondary 
thread, with no 
apparent improvement.

Did you try running the unittests that came with the distribution? 
profiler_unittest.sh does try running with multiple threads to make sure we 
profile
threads correctly.  (That said, it's a very permissive test, and may pass even 
when
there's trouble.  That would be good to know.)

You can try running ./profiler_unittest manually and see what profiles are 
produced.
 If the unittest output looks ok but your binary's doesn't, something mysterious must
be going on.

Thanks for your quick and helpful response.  profiler_unittest.sh does pass in 
fact.  

It may be several days before I get back to this but I'll try to search in the 
space between the working unittest 
and my seemingly non-working example to see if I can understand what I'm doing 
wrong or if there's really a 
bug.

Great!  Let me know what you find.  Note the problem may be in the unittest 
being too
permissive, and the functionality is failing there as well but the unittest 
isn't
flagging it as a failure.  So keep that in mind as you search!

Ping -- did you ever manage to take a look at this?

One more ping.  If I don't hear back, I'm going to have to close this
