Profilers Instrumenting Vs Sampling
问题 I am doing a study to between profilers mainly instrumenting and sampling. I have came up with the following info: sampling: stop the execution of program, take PC and thus deduce were the program is instrumenting: add some overhead code to the program so it would increment some pointers to know the program If the above info is wrong correct me. After this I was looking at the time of execution and some said that instrumenting takes more time than sampling! is this correct? if yes why is that
