About:
QCachegrind is a GUI front-end for analyzing performance profiling data generated by Cachegrind. It visualizes call graphs, caller/callee relationships, and source code annotations to help developers identify performance bottlenecks. The tool is particularly valuable for optimizing C++ and other compiled applications by making complex profiling data accessible.
Key Features:
  • Interactive call graph visualization
  • Source code annotation with performance metrics
  • Call tree and caller/callee analysis
  • Support for multiple profiling data formats
Use Cases:
  • Identifying performance bottlenecks in compiled applications
  • Analyzing function call relationships and execution times
  • Comparing profiling results across different code versions
Alternatives:
  • gprof2dot – Command-line tool that converts profiling data to graphviz diagrams, less interactive than QCachegrind
  • perf + flamegraphs – Linux-native performance analysis with different visualization approach, requires more manual setup
