Name: PROFILER::DUMP

Section: Code Profiling

Synopsis:

<profiler::dump FILENAME &key [SORT=[NAMES|TIMES|CALLS|EXPENSE]]

Description:

Write profiling information to FILENAME. Unlike C profilers, the output is quite self-explanatory.

To try it out, do the following in mdb:

<set-var mhtml::profile-functions = true>
<set-var x=<make-alist foo=bar bar=<make-alist foo=bar>>>
<profiler::dump /tmp/alist.calls sort=calls>
<profiler::dump /tmp/alist.time sort=time>
<profiler::dump /tmp/alist.expense sort=expense>

Known bugs: The total time doesn't really correctly reflect the amount of time spent processing the entire page -- the time displayed is additive, so it is always orders of magnitude larger than it should be. However, the time displayed for each function call is correct.
