Abstract
A method and apparatus for evaluating software application performance utilizing a compiler application. An evaluation function is created which may be utilized to track and store software application execution information at each invocation thereof. A software application to be evaluated is compiled utilizing a compiler application which inserts at least one prelude routine command during compiling which is utilized to invoke the prelude routine upon each entry to a procedure within the software application. A command invoking the evaluation function is inserted into the prelude routine such that each entry to a procedure within the, software application under evaluation will result in the storage of execution information at that point. In the depicted embodiment of the present invention execution information at each exit from a procedure within the software application is also tracked and stored by invoking the evaluation function automatically prior to returning from a current procedure.
