Profiler for Solaris SPARC Platform (for C++ applications)

Question

Is there a profiler for the Solaris 10 SPARC architecture for the use with c++ applications? If it matters: We're using gcc for compiling our c++ sources.

You can use free Solaris/Oracle Studio which comes with a profiler. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solarisstudio/overview/index.html

If you can't afford Quantify (it's not cheap), then you have the option of RYO using either an intrusive library or using something like DTrace.

Also worth checking out this question: Beyond Stack Sampling: C++ Profilers

If you can get hold of NetBeans - I believe there is a profiler built into that (which uses DTrace underneath, I think)

I think you can use Rational Quantify, or if you're using gcc, gprof will work.

If you could use Zoom, I'd recommend it, but I'm not sure if it's limited to Linux.

But then, there's always the ugly-duckling method.
