Re[4]: [XviD-devel] Quality optimization

[Edouard Gomez]

You can use the GNU tools from Cygwin.

Enable profile (-pg), branch-probabilities (-fbranch-probabilities) and coverage
(see the cygwin Makefile) for the lib and your encoder. Then run your program,
it will output [source].da and [source].bbg files where the lib has been compiled.

When both coevrage and branch probabilities are set, then the coverage file
tells you how many times you entered/called each block of code, so you'll be
able to see if you use good predictors in if blocks

Then i recommend reading man gcov and man gprof.
