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 <profile/vector>
|
||
#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>.
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
|
||
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>.

</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
|

Define class <code class="code">__trace_magic: public __trace_base<__magic_info,
