What's the best Free C++ Profiler for windows (if there are)

I'm looking for a free, time sampling profiler for C++

I've never used a profiler before, and the versions of Visual Studio I have don't come with one, basically I'd be happy with anything free, effective, and reasonably simple; with suitable instructions

  • Yes, sorry - I'm using Visual Studio 2005 / 2010 on Windows Vista. – Eilidh Jan 06 '11 at 15:31

  • The free time-sampling profiler I've relied on, since before profilers were invented, is [random-pausing](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/375913/what-can-i-use-to-profile-c-code-in-linux/378024#378024). – Mike Dunlavey Jan 07 '11 at 15:28

I have used Very Sleepy in the past and have been quite happy with it.

  • I think Sleepy was the one I adapted last year when I needed one. I had to decouple out all the WinMX which in my opinion should have been an optional extra. – CashCow Jan 06 '11 at 16:42
