Setting Up the mttest Sample Code

Before You Begin:

See the following for information about obtaining the code and setting up your environment.

• Getting the Sample Code for the Tutorials

• Setting Up Your Environment for the Tutorials

You might want to go through the introductory tutorial in Introduction to C Profiling first to become familiar with Performance Analyzer.

This tutorial uses the same mttest code as the tutorial Hardware Counter Profiling on a Multithreaded Program. You should make a separate copy for this tutorial.

1. Copy the contents of the mttest directory to your own private working area with the following command:

   % cp -r OracleDeveloperStudio12.6-Samples/PerformanceAnalyzer/mttest directory

   Replace directory with the working directory you are using.

2. Change to that working directory copy.

   % cd directory/mttest

3. Build the target executable.

   % make clobber
   
   % make

   ---

   Note -  The clobber subcommand is only needed if you ran make in the directory before, but safe to use in any case.

   ---

   After you run make the directory contains the target application to be used in the tutorial, a C program called mttest.
