gmon.out is used by the GNU profiling tool (gprof). It is written in the program's working directory just before the program you are profiling terminates normally. If the program terminates abnormally (via a low-level _exit or an unhandled exception) the file is not written.

The gprof syntax is:

gprof options executable-file gmon.out bb-data [yet-more-profile-data-files...] [> outfile]
