profile
Definition: | profile(bool bOn) |
Description: |
Enable or disable profiling at run-time. This works for both execution-count and time-profiling. If bOn is true(1) then profiling will be enabled, and samples/counts will be recorded. If bOn is false(0) then profiling will be disabled and samples/counts will not be recorded. An ex.pro file containing a special listing of your program is produced by the interpreter when the program finishes execution. |
pwa/p2js: | Not supported. It would of course be rather difficult for the browser to write an ex.pro file. |
Comments: |
After a with profile or with profile_time statement, profiling is turned on automatically. Use profile(0/false) to turn it off. Use profile(1/true) to turn it back on when execution reaches the code that you wish to focus the profile on. Profiling does not apply to inline assembly (#ilASM{}), only hll code. The comments in the technicalia drop-down on the trace documentation apply equally to profiling. |
Example 1: |
profile(0) ... procedure slow_routine() profile(1) ... profile(0) end procedure |
Implementation: | via :%opProfile in builtins\VM\pProfile.e (an autoinclude/part of the compiler). |
