I´ve already tried the task-manager information, which wasn´t enough
for my needs. But I found Microsofts Process Explorer which is able to
show much more information on memory and cpu-usage. I guess that this
should work. Though I´m still interested in more sophisticated tools
like some kind of memory-gprof for windows...I found that valgrind
might be the right tool for this, but it can´t be used in windows.
Rational Purify is another, but as I´m still studying I can´t afford a
legal license. What kind of tools do you use for this purpose?
