Chronometer

An integrated profiler. The profiler runs only if the code is compiled with the option -DCHRONO (see wmake/truemake) and only profiles those functions which include a balanced pair of calls

chronoStart("Function name") ; chronoReturn() ;

To use, open Chronometer from the main menu and pick Start from the chrono menu.

Then do whatever you want, i.e. parse a file, maybe intersperse your work with other commands. Select Stop from the chrono menu when you are done, then pick Show.

Print will copy the content of the chrono window to ./PS/chronometer#.PS or simply ./chronometer#.PS if you do not have a PS subdirectory in your current directory.

The output is in PostScript.
