I'm aware there's a Perl script by Steven Watanabe that measures template instantiations if I understand correctly. Are there any other techniques that are being used that I should be aware of?
It's pretty simple just to use
time g++ ...whatever...
If you need to run windoze commands, you can just install cygwin and use its implementation of time.
time is good enough for benchmarking. OTOH, Steven's perl sript is nice because it can (as he says) actually gather info when templates are being instantiated. I haven't used it yet, but it seems to be just the tool we need for profiling templates. Steven, please tell us more about your script.
