VC++ / Excel Profiler Description

The VC++ / Excel Profiler application was developed to be a useful tool for generating Excel graphs using Visual Studios built-in profiler.VC++ has an excellent built-in profiler, but in keeping with the (apparent) design philosophy of the product, MS doesn’t provide a nice GUI for the feature, preferring to provide flexible low-level functionality that can be customized. An associated tool is a macro to be found in the VC98/Bin folder, titled PROFILER.XLM. This macro will take the tabbed text output from the profiler output processor program PLIST.EXE, and present it as an Excel chart showing either function timing or hit counts. The down side is that this functionality is a bit awkward to use, and consequently I personally found myself somewhat hesitant to use it. VB is an ideal tool to produce a simple front end to automate this sort of process. I’ve noticed some resistance to the use of VB among people who consider themselves to be ‘real’ programmers (witness the recent discussions at CodeProject). I find this amusing. Blind prejudice on the basis of some perceived superiority of self is self-defeating, if for no other reason than that it limits one’s horizons. I suppose a ‘real’ programmer would prefer to use command line options to run this process, or a VC++ solution… but this took two days, and I’d never worked with the VB/Office interface before. VB has its uses – this little project works for me, and I suspect others may find it useful as well.
