+(** {6 This program is a small time and allocation profiler for Objective Caml } *)
+
+(** Adapted from Christophe Raffalli *)
+
+(** To use it, link it with the program you want to profile.
+
+To trace a function "f" you first need to get a key for it by using :
+
+let fkey = declare_profile "f";;
+
+(the string is used to print the profile infomation). Warning: this
+function does a side effect. Choose the ident you want instead "fkey".
+
+Then if the function has ONE argument add the following just after
+the definition of "f" or just after the declare_profile if this one
+follows the definition of f.
+
+let f = profile1 fkey f;;
+
+If f has two arguments do the same with profile2, idem with 3, ...
+For more arguments than provided in this module, make a new copy of
+function profile and adapt for the needed arity.
+
+If you want to profile two mutually recursive functions, you had better
+to rename them :
+
+let fkey = declare_profile "f";;
+let gkey = declare_profile "g";;
+let f' = .... f' ... g'
+and g' = .... f' .... g'
+;;
+
+let f = profile fkey f';;
+let g = profile gkey g';;
+
+Before the program quits, you should call "print_profile ();;". It
+produces a result of the following kind:
+
+Function name Own time Total time Own alloc Tot. alloc Calls
+f 0.28 0.47 116 116 5 4
+h 0.19 0.19 0 0 4 0
+g 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
+others 0.00 0.47 392 508 9
+Est. overhead/total 0.00 0.47 2752 3260
+
+- The first column is the name of the function.
+- The third column give the time (utime + stime) spent inside the function.
+- The second column give the time spend inside the function minus the
+ time spend in other profiled functions called by it
+- The 4th and 5th columns give the same for allocated words
+- The 6th and 7th columns give the number of calls to the function and
+ the number of calls to profiled functions inside the scope of the
+ current function
+
+Remarks:
+
+- If a function has a polymorphic type, you need to supply it with at
+ least one argument as in "let f a = profile1 fkey f a;;" (instead of
+ "let f = profile1 fkey f;;") in order to get generalization of the
+ type.
+- Each line of the form "let f a = profile1 fkey f a;;" in your code
+ counts for 5 words and each line of the form "let f
+ = profile1 fkey f;;" counts for 6 words (a word is 4 or 8 bytes
+ according to the architecture); this is counted for "others".
+- Time fields for functions doing a little job is usually non pertinent.
