The profiler tool is enabled by default in the basic ECL configuration. It
can be disabled with the configure
option --disable-profiler
.
This function activates the profiling of subsequent executions. grain is a value between 1 and 16384 which indicates the granularity of code segments to consider. There is a counter for each such segment. With each clock tick, the current segment is identified and its corresponding histogram count is incremented. A value of 0 for grain means stop profiling. address indicates the base address for the code being profiled.
