28 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;;
30 ;; If you want to profile a bunch of functions, set elp-function-list
31 ;; to the list of symbols, then do a M-x elp-instrument-list. This
32 ;; hacks those functions so that profiling information is recorded
33 ;; whenever they are called. To print out the current results, use
34 ;; M-x elp-results. If you want output to go to standard-output
35 ;; instead of a separate buffer, setq elp-use-standard-output to
36 ;; non-nil. With elp-reset-after-results set to non-nil, profiling
37 ;; information will be reset whenever the results are displayed. You
38 ;; can also reset all profiling info at any time with M-x
39 ;; elp-reset-all.
40 ;;
41 ;; You can also instrument all functions in a package, provided that
42 ;; the package follows the GNU coding standard of a common textural
43 ;; prefix. Use M-x elp-instrument-package for this.
44 ;;
45 ;; If you want to sort the results, set elp-sort-by-function to some
46 ;; predicate function. The three most obvious choices are predefined:
47 ;; elp-sort-by-call-count, elp-sort-by-average-time, and
48 ;; elp-sort-by-total-time. Also, you can prune from the output, all
49 ;; functions that have been called fewer than a given number of times
50 ;; by setting elp-report-limit.
51 ;;
52 ;; Elp can instrument byte-compiled functions just as easily as
53 ;; interpreted functions, but it cannot instrument macros. However,
54 ;; when you redefine a function (e.g. with eval-defun), you'll need to
55 ;; re-instrument it with M-x elp-instrument-function. This will also
56 ;; reset profiling information for that function. Elp can handle
57 ;; interactive functions (i.e. commands), but of course any time spent
58 ;; idling for user prompts will show up in the timing results.
59 ;;
60 ;; You can also designate a `master' function. Profiling times will
61 ;; be gathered for instrumented functions only during execution of
62 ;; this master function. Thus, if you have some defuns like:
63 ;;
64 ;; (defun foo () (do-something-time-intensive))
65 ;; (defun bar () (foo))
66 ;; (defun baz () (bar) (foo))
67 ;;
68 ;; and you want to find out the amount of time spent in bar and foo,
69 ;; but only during execution of bar, make bar the master. The call of
70 ;; foo from baz will not add to foo's total timing sums. Use M-x
71 ;; elp-set-master and M-x elp-unset-master to utilize this feature.
72 ;; Only one master function can be set at a time.
73
74 ;; You can restore any function's original function definition with
75 ;; elp-restore-function. The other instrument, restore, and reset
76 ;; functions are provided for symmetry.
77
78 ;; Here is a list of variable you can use to customize elp:
79 ;; elp-function-list
80 ;; elp-reset-after-results
81 ;; elp-sort-by-function
82 ;; elp-report-limit
83 ;;
84 ;; Here is a list of the interactive commands you can use:
85 ;; elp-instrument-function
86 ;; elp-restore-function
87 ;; elp-instrument-list
88 ;; elp-restore-list
89 ;; elp-instrument-package
90 ;; elp-restore-all
91 ;; elp-reset-function
92 ;; elp-reset-list
93 ;; elp-reset-all
94 ;; elp-set-master
95 ;; elp-unset-master
96 ;; elp-results
97 ;; elp-submit-bug-report
98
99 ;; Note that there are plenty of factors that could make the times
100 ;; reported unreliable, including the accuracy and granularity of your
101 ;; system clock, and the overhead spent in lisp calculating and
102 ;; recording the intervals. I figure the latter is pretty constant,
103 ;; so while the times may not be entirely accurate, I think they'll
104 ;; give you a good feel for the relative amount of work spent in the
105 ;; various lisp routines you are profiling. Note further that times
106 ;; are calculated using wall-clock time, so other system load will
107 ;; affect accuracy too.
108
109 ;;; Background:
110
111 ;; This program was inspired by the only two existing Emacs Lisp
112 ;; profilers that I'm aware of, Boaz Ben-Zvi's profile.el, and Root
113 ;; Boy Jim's profiler.el. Both were written for Emacs 18 and both were
114 ;; pretty good first shots at profiling, but I found that they didn't
115 ;; provide the functionality or interface that I wanted, so I wrote
116 ;; this. I've tested elp in XEmacs 19 and Emacs 19. There's no point
117 ;; in even trying to make this work with Emacs 18.
118
119 ;; Unlike previous profilers, elp uses Emacs 19's built-in function
120 ;; current-time to return interval times. This obviates the need for
121 ;; both an external C program and Emacs processes to communicate with
122 ;; such a program, and thus simplifies the package as a whole.
123
124 ;; TBD:
125 ;; Make this act like a real profiler, so that it records time spent
126 ;; in all branches of execution.
