* Project Name : Library profiler *
* *
* File Name : PROFILE.H *
* *
* Programmer : Steve Tall *

* Start Date : 11/17/95 *

* Last Update : November 20th 1995 [ST] *

*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
* Overview: *
* *
* New System *
* ~~~~~~~~~~~ *
* *
* The new profiler system creates a seperate thread and then starts a timer off there. The *
* timer in the second thread uses GetThreadContext to sample the IP address of each user *
* thread. This system has the advantage of being able to sample what is happening in all the *
* threads we own not just the main thread. Another advantage is that it doesnt require a *
* major recompilation. *
* The disadvantage is that we dont really know what is going on when the IP is outside the *
* scope of our threads - We could be in direct draw, direct sound or even something like the *
* VMM and there is no way to tell. *
* *
* *
* *
* Old System *
* ~~~~~~~~~~~ *
* *
* The profiler works by using the function prologue and epilogue hooks available in Watcom *
* to register the current functions address in a global variable and then sampling the *
* contents of the variable using a windows timer which runs at up to 1000 samples per second.*
* *
* Compile the code to be sampled with the -ep and -ee flags to enable the prologue (__PRO) *
* and epilogue (__EPI) calls to be generated. *
* At the beginning of the section to be profiled (just before main loop normally) call the *
* Start_Profiler function to start sampling. At the end of the section, call Stop_Profiler *
* which will stop the timer and write the profile data to disk in the PROFILE.BIN file. *
* *
* Use PROFILE.EXE to view the results of the session. *
* *
* The addition of prologue and epilogue code will slow down the product and the profiler *
* allocates a huge buffer for data so it should not be linked in unless it is going to be *
* used. *
* *
* The advantage of the prologue/epilogue approach is that all samples represent valid *
* addresses within our code so we get valid results we can use even when the IP is in system *
* code. *
