NoteTo merge the .dyn files, use the profmerge utility.
The compiler executes profmerge automatically during the feedback compilation phase when you specify -prof_use.
The command-line usage for profmerge is as follows:
profmerge [-nologo] [-prof_dirdirname]
where -prof_dirdirname is a profmerge utility option.
This merges all .dyn files in the current directory or the directory specified by -prof_dir, and produces the summary file pgopti.dpi.
The -prof_filefilename option enables you to specify the name of the .dpi file.
The command-line usage for profmerge with -prof_filefilename is as follows:
profmerge [-nologo] [-prof_filefilename]
where /prof_filefilename is a profmerge utility option.
NoteThe profmerge tool merges all the .dyn files that exist in the given directory. It is very important to make sure that unrelated .dyn files, oftentimes from previous runs, are not present in that directory. Otherwise, profile information will be based on invalid profile data. This can negatively impact the performance of optimized code as well as generate misleading coverage information.
Note
The .dyn files can be merged to a .dpi file by the profmerge tool without recompiling the application.
This subsection provides an example of how to call the C PGO API routines from Fortran. For complete description of the PGO API support routines, see PGO API: Profile Information Generation Support.
As part of the instrumented execution phase of profile-guided optimization,
the instrumented program writes profile data to the dynamic information
file (.dyn file). The file is written after the
instrumented program returns normally from main()
or calls the standard exit function. Programs that do not terminate normally,
can use the _PGOPTI_Prof_Dump
function. During the instrumentation compilation
(-prof_gen) you can add a call to this function
to your program. Here is an example:

Note
You must remove the call or comment it out prior to the feedback compilation
with -prof_use.
