== Introduction ==

Note that this requires os.clock(), debug.sethook(), and
debug.getinfo() or your equivalent replacements to be available if
this is an embedded application.

Example usage:

profiler = newProfiler()
profiler:start()

    < call some functions that take time >

profiler:stop()

local outfile = io.open( "profile.txt", "w+" )
profiler:report( outfile )
outfile:close()

== Optionally choosing profiling method ==

The rest of this comment can be ignored if you merely want a good
profiler.

newProfiler(method, sampledelay):

If method is omitted or "time", will profile based on real
performance.  optionally, frequency can be provided to control the
number of opcodes per profiling tick. By default this is 100000, which
(on my system) provides one tick approximately every 2ms and reduces
system performance by about 10%.  This can be reduced to increase
accuracy at the cost of performance, or increased for the opposite
effect.

If method is "call", will profile based on function calls. Frequency is
ignored.


"time" may bias profiling somewhat towards large areas with "simple
opcodes", as the profiling function (which introduces a certain amount
of unavoidable overhead) will be called more often. This can be
minimized by using a larger sample delay - the default should leave
any error largely overshadowed by statistical noise. With a delay of
1000 I was able to achieve inaccuray of approximately 25%. Increasing
the delay to 100000 left inaccuracy below my testing error.

"call" may bias profiling heavily towards areas with many function
calls.  Testing found a degenerate case giving a figure inaccurate by
approximately 20,000%.  (Yes, a multiple of 200.) This is, however,
more directly comparable to common profilers (such as gprof) and also
gives accurate function call counts, which cannot be retrieved from
"time".

I strongly recommend "time" mode, and it is now the default.

== History ==

2008-09-16 - Time-based profiling and conversion to Lua 5.1
	    by Ben Wilhelm ( zorba-pepperfish@pavlovian.net ).
  Added the ability to optionally choose profiling methods, along with a new
  profiling method.

Converted to Lua 5, a few improvements, and 
	       additional documentation by Tom Spilman ( tom@sickheadgames.com )

Additional corrections and tidying by original author
	    Daniel Silverstone ( dsilvers@pepperfish.net )

== Status ==

Daniel Silverstone is no longer using this code, and judging by how
long it's been waiting for Lua 5.1 support, I don't think Tom Spilman
is either. I'm perfectly willing to take on maintenance, so if you
have problems or questions, go ahead and email me :)
