Subject: [COMMITTED] ada: Document that gprof won't work on windows with PIE.
Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2022 09:41:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221107084152.152087-1-poulhies@adacore.com> (raw)
From: Cedric Landet <landet@adacore.com>
Document that gprof won't work on windows with PIE and -no-pie must be
used.
gcc/ada/
* doc/gnat_ugn/gnat_and_program_execution.rst: Mention the needed
-no-pie for windows to use gprof.
* gnat_ugn.texi: Regenerate.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on master.
