Hi

Is there a code profiler that can be used to analyze a driver for performance bottlenecks?

Thanks

Dump the messages in your driver and view them in the debugview or you can
use WPP to monitor the performance.

kernrate is recommended.

It ships (again, with the nice auto-zooming feature an also with 64-bit support) with the latest WDK.

There are much older versions that may be downloaded with the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools (iirc), and KrView, but the binaries are obsolete and the Srv08 WDK kernrate binaries should be used instead.

Microsoft freebies are fine.

VTune, IMHO,?is a professional profiler but it’s not free. It definitely worth the money though.

XPerf is also nice. Some of the more useful features might require
Vista/WS08 though.
