✨ bglprof(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the bglprof page from the General Commands Manual 💖 pull up a chair, we're doing profiling today and it's gonna be iconic, no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

bglprof — display call graph profile data for Bigloo programs

like, it shows you the whole call graph tea for your Bigloo situation 👑 not me being obsessed with knowing which function is eating all the time 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bglprof [ options ] [ objfile [ gmon.out ] ]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. options if you want them, then objfile, then gmon.out — both optional, both cute 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so bglprof is literally a front-end to the gprof program, periodt. any option that applied to gprof suits for bglprof — like, whatever gprof accepts, you can just hand it over, it's giving very generous 💅

but here's the extra sprinkle ✨ bglprof also reads an extra monitoring file: the bmon.out file. where does that come from? it's generated when you execute a program that has been linked by Bigloo making use of the -p option. so yeah, -p at link time → bmon.out appears → bglprof is fed 🍓

bestie, if you want the detailed documentation, see the glprof manual — that's where the full lore lives 📖

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -v — verbose mode. she talks more. she tells you more. main character energy 👑

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

here's the sequence of commands to get a Bigloo profile, bestie, copy it exactly bestie:

$ bigloo foo.scm -p -unsafe -O4 -c
$ bigloo foo.o -p -unsafe -O4 -c -o a.out
$ ./a.out
$ bglprof

compile it, link it, run it, then profile it — the four-step slay 💅 ate and left no crumbs 🫶
