29 ;;; Commentary:
31 ;; This file has been obsolete since Emacs 21.1.
33 ;; DESCRIPTION:
34 ;; ------------
35 ;; This program can be used to monitor running time performance of Emacs Lisp
36 ;; functions. It takes a list of functions and report the real time spent
37 ;; inside these functions. (Actually, for each function it reports the amount
38 ;; of time spent while at least one instance of that function is on the call
39 ;; stack. So if profiled function FOO calls profiled function BAR, the time
40 ;; spent inside BAR is credited to both functions.)
42 ;; HOW TO USE:
43 ;; -----------
44 ;; Set the variable profile-functions-list to the list of functions
45 ;; (as symbols) You want to profile. Call M-x profile-functions to set
46 ;; this list on and start using your program. Note that profile-functions
47 ;; MUST be called AFTER all the functions in profile-functions-list have
48 ;; been loaded !! (This call modifies the code of the profiled functions.
49 ;; Hence if you reload these functions, you need to call profile-functions
50 ;; again! ).
51 ;; To display the results do M-x profile-results . For example:
52 ;;-------------------------------------------------------------------
53 ;; (setq profile-functions-list '(sokoban-set-mode-line sokoban-load-game
54 ;; sokoban-move-vertical sokoban-move))
55 ;; (load "sokoban")
56 ;; M-x profile-functions
57 ;; ... I play the sokoban game ..........
58 ;; M-x profile-results
60 ;; Function Time (Seconds.Useconds)
61 ;; ======== =======================
62 ;; sokoban-move 0.539088
63 ;; sokoban-move-vertical 0.410130
64 ;; sokoban-load-game 0.453235
65 ;; sokoban-set-mode-line 1.949203
66 ;;-----------------------------------------------------
67 ;; To clear all the settings to profile use profile-finish.
68 ;; To set one function at a time (instead of or in addition to setting the
69 ;; above list and M-x profile-functions) use M-x profile-a-function.
