;;; Commentary:

;; DESCRIPTION:
;; ------------
;;   This program can be used to monitor running time performance of Emacs Lisp
;; functions.  It takes a list of functions and report the real time spent
;; inside these functions.  (Actually, for each function it reports the amount
;; of time spent while at least one instance of that function is on the call
;; stack.  So if profiled function FOO calls profiled function BAR, the time
;; spent inside BAR is credited to both functions.)

;; HOW TO USE:
;; -----------
;;   Set the variable  profile-functions-list  to the list of functions
;; (as symbols) You want to profile. Call  M-x  profile-functions to set
;; this list on and start using your program.  Note that profile-functions
;; MUST be called AFTER all the functions in profile-functions-list have
;; been loaded !!   (This call modifies the code of the profiled functions.
;; Hence if you reload these functions, you need to call  profile-functions
;; again! ).
;;   To display the results do  M-x  profile-results .  For example:
;;-------------------------------------------------------------------
;;  (setq profile-functions-list '(sokoban-set-mode-line sokoban-load-game
;;	                          sokoban-move-vertical sokoban-move))
;;  (load "sokoban")
;;  M-x profile-functions
;;     ...  I play the sokoban game ..........
;;  M-x profile-results
;;
;;      Function                     Time (Seconds.Useconds)
;;      ========                     =======================
;;      sokoban-move                     0.539088
;;      sokoban-move-vertical            0.410130
;;      sokoban-load-game                0.453235
;;      sokoban-set-mode-line            1.949203
;;-----------------------------------------------------
;; To clear all the settings to profile use profile-finish.
;; To set one function at a time (instead of or in addition to setting the
;; above list and  M-x profile-functions) use M-x profile-a-function.
