Dear Sir,

I am not sure if this is the proper place to ask my question about the
profiling program call gprof.

I run gprof on my program and on the flat profile, the % time column
does not add up to 100%, not even close. It adds up to 51% and there are
1279 functions. If I add 0.01 seconds (the resolution of % time) to each
function to get a upper bond of total time, it will be 51%+12.79%=63.79%
<< 100%.

How can this be?

If this is not the proper place, can you point me to a proper place to
ask for help? 

Thanks.

Hello, my name is Jeffrey Milam.  I work at TecMasters.Inc in Lawton OK.    I 
was wondering if you could help me out with a problem i am having.  We are 
running a large simulation that links code from fortran and c.  The problem 
that i am having is that when producing the results, the flat profile has the 
number of times each function was called but it does not produce any 
times...such as percentage of time or total time for the functions.  Here is 
just the first couple of copied lines from the output file.

If you have any idea of what could be going wrong, could you help me...  I 
would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you
