CodeXL User GuideTo start debugging or profiling an application:
1.
Create a CodeXL project.
A CodeXL project consists of general information for the debugged / profiled
application, such as command-line arguments, environment variables. The project
also configures debugging and profiling specific configurations.
2.
Use the File > New Project menu to open the new project dialog.
The same dialog can be used later to configure the project settings during the
debugging / profiling. (Debug > Debug Settings and Profile > Profile Settings menus)
