ProfilingThe profiling informationBased on the profiling options you have set before compiling your application, some profiling data maybe present and some may be not. The columns in the tables represent the following information:Module#LineFunctionTotal TimeSelf Time% inFunctionThe C source module in which the function resides.The line number of the function definition in the C source module.The function for which profiling data is gathered and (if present) the code blocks in eachfunction. To show or hide the block counts, in the Profiler view click the Menu button ( )and select Show Block Counts.The total amount of time in seconds that was spent in this function and all of itssub-functions.The amount of time in seconds that was spent in the function itself. This excludes thetime spent in the sub-functions. So, self time = function's total time - total times of thecalled functions.This is the relative amount of time spent in this function, calculated as a percentage ofthe total application time. These should add up to 100%. The total application time isdetermined by taking the total time of the call graph. This is usually main. Example:Calls#Callers#CalleesContribution%Calls %Common toolbar iconsTotal time of main: 0.002000Self time of function foo: 0.000100%in Function = (0.000100 / 0.002000) * 100 = 5%Number of times the function has been executed.Number of functions by which the function was called.Number of functions that was actually called from this function.In the caller table: shows for which part (in percent) the caller contributes to the time spentin the focus function.In the callee table: shows how much time the focus function has spent relatively in eachof its callees.In the caller table: shows how often each callee was called as a percentage of all callsfrom the focus function.In the callee table: shows how often the focus function was called from a particular calleras a percentage of all calls to the focus function.IconActionShow/Hide BlockCountsSelect ProfilingFile(s)DescriptionToggle.
