Visual Studio Profiler only shows msvcr110.dll

I am running the CPU sampling profiler in Visual Studio 2012, but at the end the report just says that 99.83% of samples went to msvcr110.dll. In the past, I would see a clear breakdown of which of my program functions were called most frequently. Could somebody please help me with this issue?

Thanks!

I've had an issue when the VS 2012 profiler wasn't able to pick up symbols. At the same time the debugger worked well. It turned out to be Update 5 missing.

Sounds like you didn't build with debug information (Linker options->Debugging).

Also check the object files contain debug information (C/C++ options->General->Debug Information Format).
/Zi option creates a pdb file.
/Z7 integrates the debug info into the binary (usually less preferred.)

When debug info is missing, profilers will show you some C runtime function that takes a lot of runtime.
