Production Performance Analysis

Performance Advisor supports the performance analysis of stripped executables. This scenario is similar to that of Production Debug.

  • Create both stripped and unstripped versions of the executable(s). Build with -g, save a copy of the executable with the debug information, and run the strip command on the executable to be deployed.
  • Create a new Session with the New Session Wizard. On the second page of the wizard add the non-stripped executable to the list of executables.
  • Create a new Hotspot Detection Activity. On the second page of the wizard select the same Launch Configuration that was used for Production Debug.

This will set up a scenario where the Session is pointing at the non-stripped executable and the Activity is using a Launch Configuration that is pointing at the stripped executable. Performance Advisor will know to use the non-stripped executable to find the required debug symbol information, and the stripped executable will be launched and performance analyzed.
