I am trying to profile a daemon process, but no gmon.out file is ever created on FreeBSD. When I brought my code to Linux, I managed to get the graph profile file. First, I compiled everything with the -pg flag, as I would any other program. Then, I run the program which is forked to background and send a few queries to the daemon. Finally, I kill the process using the TERM signal, which is caught and closes everything nicely before exiting (main returns 0). Yet, no profile seems to be created. I then proceeded to make a few changes to help the profiler. First, I commented out the forking of the server process so that the process could be kept in the foreground. Still no profile. I then changed my program so that it doesn't exit on a signal. Still no profile. So what could be the potential reasons for this problem knowing the program doesn't fork and exits on '0'?
