gprof (-G option in makefile)

[Ronald Bolante]

hi guys... i hope someone could help me out... i would like to know more about the gprof command and the gmon.out file generated when we put -G option in the makefile... is gmon.out generated everytime you run the program or only after the compilation? thanks in advance...
