Can you use Xcode Instruments with MonoMac

Question

I'm developing a MonoMac application on OS X 10.7. I've noticed that Xcode has an application called Instruments that looks like it tracks a whole bunch of stuff that would be nice for doing stress testing etc. I was wondering if you can use it with a MonoMac application?

I would've thought you could, but when I tried attaching it to my app process it didnt seem to want to record.

Any tips?

Answer 1

I suspect not since XCode doesn't know anything about managed/mono environments.

You could very well get the performance characteristics of the JIT engine running your code. This is inherently related, but not very easy to map into anything meaningful without the tools having direct support/knowledge of said JIT environment.
