Unable to view complete output from gprof profiler - profiler

Question

In spite of compiling my code with -pg flag set, I am unable to view the complete details of the gprof output from gmon.out
Specifically, I am not getting the details of calls, self Ts/call and total Ts/call.
This is the output of gprof deepflow-static gmon.out :
Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.

This has happened to me when the application being run with gprof was not terminating successfully.
The generation of the analysis file could not complete as the information was not fully written to gmon.out.
Try exiting the program after a few lines with:
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
And check whether or not the file is correctly generated.
You can also run the program through gdb.
I am not a Makefile expert, but you should be using the -pg flag on two steps:
GPROF=-pg
all: $(SOURCES) $(EXECUTABLE)
$(EXECUTABLE): $(OBJECTS)
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o $# $(LIBS) $(GPROF)
.cpp.o:
$(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $# $(GPROF)
