I am trying to execute pin tools on my own executables. I am asked to use cache simulator (allcache) in order to collect miss rates.

I'm struggling with the parameters and I faced with a lot of errors actually.

The operating system is Win10-64 Bit but I'm using CygWin.

Currently I am trying to trigger it with pin.exe which is under intel64/bin folder.

$ pin.exe -t allcache.cpp -- myOwnThingy.exe

But I'm getting this error:

E: Failure to open DLL file C:\cygwin64\home\blabla\pin-3.7-97619-g0d0c92f4f-msvc-windows\intel64\bin\allcache.cpp

Why does it need to open a dll file especially when there are only .cpps and header files in the examples?

Pin tools must be compiled to be used. You can't run the source files. Use 'make' to build the pintool.
