A short google search tells me it's some sort of stardard output file generated ysing certain commands/ whatever. A programmer probably can explain the details.

Anyway, it seems like nothing to worry about.

I guess it's not T itself creating it though, as my system diesn;t have any such files (a plugin generates it perhaps?)

gmon.out is usually produced by an executable compiled by gcc for profiling (ie. using gcc -pg).

Profiling gives the programmer a breakdown of how much execution time is spent in different functions within the program. Usually, one profiles a program to determine which functions would best benefit from optimisation.

Anyway, the gmon.out file can be read by the gnu profiler (gprof) like this:

Code: Select all

gprof tracktion2.exe gmon.out

Each gmon.out includes statistics for a particular run of the program. Its also possible that gmon.out is being produced not by Tracktion itself, but by a plugin that is loaded by Tracktion. You would have to figure this out by a process of elimination.

In any case, if an executable produces a gmon.out file it is almost certainly an error. Profiling makes the program run slower, so should not be included in a "shipped" version of an executable.

Since no one else sees this Ron, I'm pretty sure it its plug-in related. Have added any new plugs lately?

Tracktion initializes every plugin at scan time, so this is probably it.
