Ilya Zakharevich:
Newer perls: Add PERL_POLLUTE and dTHR.
1998 Nov 10
This version of DProf should work with older Perls too, but to get
full benefits some patches to 5.004_55 are needed. Patches take effect
after new version of Perl is installed, and DProf recompiled.
Without these patches the overhead of DProf is too big, thus the statistic
may be very skewed.
Oct 98:
Ilya Zakharevich:
DProf.xs
- correct defstash to PL_defstash
- nonlocal exits work
dprofpp
- nonlocal exits work
DProf.pm
- documentation updated
t/test6.*
- added
Nov-Dec 97:
Jason E. Holt and Ilya Zakharevich:
DProf.xs
- will not wait until completion to write the output, size of buffer
regulated by PERL_DPROF_BUFFER, default 2**14 words;
Ilya Zakharevich:
dprofpp
- smarter in fixing garbled profiles;
- subtracts DProf output overhead, and suggested profiler overhead;
- new options -A, -R, -g subroutine, -S;
- handles 'goto' too;
DProf.xs
- 7x denser output (time separated from name, ids for subs);
- outputs report-write overhead;
- optional higher-resolution (currently OS/2 only, cannot grok VMS code);
- outputs suggested profiler overhead;
- handles 'goto' too;
- handles PERL_DPROF_TICKS (on OS/2, VMS may be easily modified too)
Jun 14, 97 andreas koenig adds the compatibility notes to the README
and lets the Makefile.PL die on $] < 5.004.
Jun 06, 97 andreas koenig applies a patch by gurusamy sarathy because
Dean is not available for comments at that time. The patch is available
from CPAN in the authors/id/GSAR directory for inspection.
Sep 30, 96 dmr
DProf.xs
- added Ilya's patches to fix "&bar as &bar(@_)" bug. This also fixes
the coredumps people have seen when using this with 5.003+.
DProf.pm
- updated manpage
t/bug.t
- moved to test5
Makefile.PL
- remove special case for bug.t
Jun 26, 96 dmr
dprofpp.PL
- smarter r.e. to find VERSION in Makefile (for MM5.27).
DProf.pm
- updated manpage
DProf.xs
- keep pid of profiled process, if process forks then only the
parent is profiled. Added test4 for this.
Mar 2, 96 dmr
README
- updated
dprofpp
- updated manpage, point to DProf for raw profile description.
DProf.pm
- update manpage, update raw profile description with XS_VERSION.
- update manpage for AUTOLOAD changes.
DProf.xs
- smart handling of &AUTOLOAD--looks in $AUTOLOAD for the sub name.
this fixes one problem with corrupt profiles.
Feb 5, 96 dmr
dprofpp
- updated manpage
- added -E/-I for exclusive/inclusive times
- added DPROFPP_OPTS -- lazily
- added -p/-Q for profile-then-analyze
- added version check
dprofpp.PL
- pull dprofpp's version id from the makefile
DProf.pm
- added version to bootstrap
- updated doc
- updated doc, DProf and -w are now friendly to each other
DProf.xs
- using savepv
- added Tim's patch to check for DBsub, avoids -MDevel::DProf coredump
- turn off warnings during newXS("DB::sub")
tests
- added Tim's patch to ignore Loader::import in results
- added Tim's patch to aid readability of test?.v output
