The structure MINI-PROFILER implements a minimalist profiler for Scheme48 and scsh. Time is measuered using Scheme48's RUN-TIME function from TIME. Functions ========= (profile-init!) -> unspecific Initialize or reset the profiler. Calling this function will delete all information collected during previous runs of the compiler. (display-profile . port) -> unspecific Print the profiling information acquired to PORT. If PORT is not specified use CURRENT-OUTPUT-PORT. Syntax ====== (account-for name body) Evaluate BODY and stop the time needed for doing so. Account the time needed for NAME. Especially useful for profiling code that makes heavy use of high-order functions or lazy evaluation. Example: (define (compile-funcall exp) (account-for compile-funcall (let ((op (compile (funcall-op exp))) (arg (compile (funcall-arg exp)))) (lambda (env) (account-for eval-funcall (op (arg env stop-k))))))) define-prof DEFINE-PROF is a substitute for Scheme's DEFINE. Mini-profiler accounts the time needed to evaluate the procedure bound with DEFINE for DEFINE name.
