Profiling problem

Usage of VEX tools

To profile the application, use "-mas_G" (and read the book!)

The "-pg" option is not a VEX supported option; what probably happens is that you're passing "-pg" to the native gcc used for compiled simulation (which is what happens for all options not recognized by the frontend). Even if you can get it to link, you'll get a profile of the simulator, unlikely to be what you want...

Your program is really too simple for profiling. My guess is that execution time stays below the minimum threshold (in the order of usecs, can't recall the exact number). Try it on a larger program, such as one of the examples in the VEX distro.
