The two files vprof.h and vprof.cpp implement a simple value-profiling mechanism. By including these two files in avmplus (or any other project), you can value profile data as you wish (currently integers).
Usage:
#include "vprof.h" // in the source file you want to use it
_vprof (value);
At the end of the execution, for each probe you'll get the data associated with the probe, such as:
File line avg [min : max] total count
..\..\pcre\pcre_valid_utf8.cpp 182 50222.75916 [0 : 104947] 4036955604 80381
The probe is defined at line 182 of file pcre_vali_utf8.cpp. It was called 80381 times. The min value of the probe was 0 while its max was 10497 and its average was 50222.75916. The total sum of all values of the probe is 4036955604. Later, I plan to add more options on the spectrum of data among others.
A few typical uses
------------------
To see how many times a given function gets executed do:
Here are a few examples of using the value-profiling utility:
_vprof (e);
at the end of program execution, you'll get a dump of the source location of this probe,
its min, max, average, the total sum of all instances of e, and the total number of times this probe was called.
_vprof (x > 0);
shows how many times and what percentage of the cases x was > 0,
that is the probablitiy that x > 0.
_vprof (n % 2 == 0);
shows how many times n was an even number
as well as th probablitiy of n being an even number.
_hprof (n, 4, 1000, 5000, 5001, 10000);
gives you the histogram of n over the given 4 bucket boundaries:
# cases < 1000
# cases >= 1000 and < 5000
# cases >= 5000 and < 5001
# cases >= 5001 and < 10000
# cases >= 10000
_nvprof ("event name", value);
all instances with the same name are merged
so, you can call _vprof with the same event name at difference places
_vprof (e, myProbe);
value profile e and call myProbe (void* vprofID) at the profiling point.
inside the probe, the client has the predefined variables:
_VAL, _COUNT, _SUM, _MIN, _MAX, and the general purpose registers
_IVAR1, ..., IVAR4 general integer registrs
_I64VAR1, ..., I64VAR4 general integer64 registrs
_DVAR1, ..., _DVAR4 general double registers
_GENPTR a generic pointer that can be used by the client
the number of registers can be changed in vprof.h
Named Events
------------
_nvprof ("event name", value);
all instances with the same name are merged
so, you can call _vprof with the same event name at difference places
Custom Probes
--------------
You can call your own custom probe at the profiling point.
_vprof (v, myProbe);
value profile v and call myProbe (void* vprofID) at the profiling point
inside the probe, the client has the predefined variables:
_VAL, _COUNT, _SUM, _MIN, _MAX, and the general purpose registers
_IVAR1, ..., IVAR4 general integer registrs
_I64VAR1, ..., I64VAR4 general integer64 registrs
_DVAR1, ..., _DVAR4 general double registers
the number of registers can be changed in vprof.h
_GENPTR a generic pointer that can be used for almost anything
