What is your favorite profiling tool

[Kira Yamato]

Hi, just starting out on C++ this semester. Been learning the language
and g++ compiler.

So, now I'm ready to learn some profiling.

Can someone recommend a nice profiler on Linux systems? What are some
of the popular profilers?

Thank you.

Valgrind (the callgrind tool of valgrind) + kcachegrind which is a
visualization tool for the output of valgrind.
