Version 1 of (another) command profiler

Updated 2008-07-15 19:43:38 by FF

FF 2008-07-15 - Today I was in the need of a profiler. The only profilers I can found here are proc profilers, not good for me, since the code I want to profile is made up of two procs.

Here's a tcl command profiler. You choose which commands you want to profile. Usage example:

 source profiler.tcl
 profiler::add {file set glob incr expr}
 profiler::begin

 # code here

 profiler::end

Output:

 --------- PROFILER STATS ---------------------------------------------
 Total time: 4341.784 ms (49.30% overhead+non-profiled commands)
 command:     min          max          avg          total        ncalls

Note: you can profile every command, except lappend, clock, list :-)
