33 * Module for CPU profiling based on periodic pc-sampling.
34 *
35 * For full(er) information, see doc/cpuprofile.html
36 *
37 * This module is linked into your program with
38 * no slowdown caused by this unless you activate the profiler
39 * using one of the following methods:
40 *
41 *    1. Before starting the program, set the environment variable
42 *       "PROFILE" to be the name of the file to which the profile
43 *       data should be written.
44 *
45 *    2. Programmatically, start and stop the profiler using the
46 *       routines "ProfilerStart(filename)" and "ProfilerStop()".
47 *
48 *
49 * (Note: if using linux 2.4 or earlier, only the main thread may be
50 * profiled.)
51 *
52 * Use pprof to view the resulting profile output.
53 *    % pprof <path_to_executable> <profile_file_name>
54 *    % pprof --gv  <path_to_executable> <profile_file_name>
55 *
56 * These functions are thread-safe.
