Profiler
========
The profiler is used to get information about program performance and
efficiency.
.. type:: typedef struct profiler_snapshot profiler_snapshot_t

Profiler Structures
-------------------
.. type:: struct profiler_time_entry
.. member:: uint64_t profiler_time_entry.time_delta
.. member:: uint64_t profiler_time_entry.count
Profiler Control Functions
--------------------------
.. function:: void profiler_start(void)
Starts the profiler.
----------------------
.. function:: void profiler_stop(void)
Stops the profiler.
----------------------
.. function:: void profiler_print(profiler_snapshot_t *snap)
Creates a profiler snapshot and saves it within *snap*.
:param snap: A profiler snapshot object
----------------------
.. function:: void profiler_print_time_between_calls(profiler_snapshot_t *snap)
Creates a profiler snapshot of time between calls and saves it within
*snap*.
:param snap: A profiler snapshot object
----------------------
.. function:: void profiler_free(void)
Frees the profiler.
----------------------
Profiling Functions
-------------------
.. function:: void profile_register_root(const char *name, uint64_t expected_time_between_calls)
Registers a root profile node.
:param name: Name of the root profile node
:param expected_time_between_calls: The expected time between calls
of the profile root node, or 0 if
none.
----------------------
.. function:: void profile_start(const char *name)
Starts a profile node. This profile node will be a child of the last
node that was started.
:param name: Name of the profile node
----------------------
.. function:: void profile_end(const char *name)
:param name: Name of the profile node
----------------------
.. function:: void profile_reenable_thread(void)
Because :c:func:`profiler_start()` can be called in a different
thread than the current thread, this is used to specify a point where
it's safe to re-enable profiling in the calling thread. Call this
when you have looped root profile nodes and need to specify a safe
point where the root profile node isn't active and the profiler can
start up in the current thread again.
----------------------
Profiler Name Storage Functions
-------------------------------
.. function:: profiler_name_store_t *profiler_name_store_create(void)
Creates a profiler name storage object.
:return: Profiler name store object
----------------------
.. function:: void profiler_name_store_free(profiler_name_store_t *store)
Frees a profiler name storage object.
:param store: Profiler name storage object
----------------------
.. function:: const char *profile_store_name(profiler_name_store_t *store, const char *format, ...)
Creates a formatted string and stores it within a profiler name
storage object.
:param store: Profiler name storage object
:param format: Formatted string
:return: The string created from format specifications
----------------------
Profiler Data Access Functions
------------------------------
.. function:: profiler_snapshot_t *profile_snapshot_create(void)
Creates a profile snapshot. Profiler snapshots are used to obtain
data about how the active profiles performed.
:return: A profiler snapshot object
----------------------
.. function:: void profile_snapshot_free(profiler_snapshot_t *snap)
Frees a profiler snapshot object.
:param snap: A profiler snapshot
----------------------
.. function:: bool profiler_snapshot_dump_csv(const profiler_snapshot_t *snap, const char *filename)
Creates a CSV file of the profiler snapshot.
:param snap: A profiler snapshot
:param filename: The path to the CSV file to save
:return: *true* if successfuly written, *false* otherwise
----------------------
.. function:: bool profiler_snapshot_dump_csv_gz(const profiler_snapshot_t *snap, const char *filename)
Creates a gzipped CSV file of the profiler snapshot.
:param snap: A profiler snapshot
:param filename: The path to the gzipped CSV file to save
:return: *true* if successfuly written, *false* otherwise
----------------------
.. function:: size_t profiler_snapshot_num_roots(profiler_snapshot_t *snap)
:param snap: A profiler snapshot
:return: Number of root profiler nodes in the snapshot
----------------------
