thus is publicly visible, only a small number of functions are called from
outside this directory. All calls to hook implementations must be
done through macros defined in <code class="code">profiler.h</code>. The macro
must ensure (1) that the call is guarded against reentrance and
(2) that the call can be turned off at compile time using a
<code class="code">-D_GLIBCXX_PROFILE_...</code> compiler option.

</p><p>If you need to instrument a header not already under
<code class="code">include/profile/*</code>, first edit the corresponding header
under <code class="code">include/std/</code> and add a preprocessor directive such
as the one in <code class="code">include/std/vector</code>:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
#ifdef _GLIBCXX_PROFILE
# include &lt;profile/vector&gt;
#endif
</pre><p>
</p><p>If the file you need to instrument is not yet under
<code class="code">include/profile/</code>, make a copy of the one in
<code class="code">include/debug</code>, or the main implementation.
You'll need to include the main implementation and inherit the classes
you want to instrument. Then define the methods you want to instrument,
define the instrumentation hooks and add calls to them.
Look at <code class="code">include/profile/vector</code> for an example.
</p><p>Add macros for the instrumentation hooks in
<code class="code">include/profile/impl/profiler.h</code>.
Hook names must start with <code class="code">__profcxx_</code>.
Make sure they transform
in no code with <code class="code">-D_NO_GLBICXX_PROFILE_MAGIC</code>.
Make sure all calls to any method in namespace <code class="code">__gnu_profile</code>
is protected against reentrance using macro
<code class="code">_GLIBCXX_PROFILE_REENTRANCE_GUARD</code>.
All names of methods in namespace <code class="code">__gnu_profile</code> called from
<code class="code">profiler.h</code> must start with <code class="code">__trace_magic_</code>.
</p><p>Add the implementation of the diagnostic.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
Create new file <code class="code">include/profile/impl/profiler_magic.h</code>.

Define class <code class="code">__magic_info: public __object_info_base</code>.
This is the representation of a line in the object table.
The <code class="code">__merge</code> method is used to aggregate information
across all dynamic instances created at the same call context.
The <code class="code">__magnitude</code> must return the estimation of the benefit
as a number of small operations, e.g., number of words copied.
The <code class="code">__write</code> method is used to produce the raw trace.
The <code class="code">__advice</code> method is used to produce the advice string.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Define class <code class="code">__magic_stack_info: public __magic_info</code>.
