Overview

This is a profiler for tcl scripts. It allows the creation of profiling data from your tcl programms and later analysis and detailed inspection through a graphical frontend.

With tprof you can selectively optimize your tcl programms by finding performance bottlenecks and rewriting (in tcl or even in C) the most time-consuming routines.

Features

The public-domain version of the programm contains all the features necessary to analyze your tcl programms:
• call flow display
• barcharts for number of calls, cpu time and real time
• tabular display of profiling data set
• analyse both tcl procs and commands written in C
• graphical user interface, easy use
• simple aquisition of profiling data
• easy configuration and installation

Additional Highlights

The programm is also available as a commercial version. This version adds the following features:
• zoom in on interesting subsets of the data
• sort output according to different criteria
• printout of data sets
• postscript (eps) images of charts and tables
• merging of multiple data sets
• annotate data sets with comments
• ignore a set of procedures/commands
• exporting data sets in different formats to inspect them further (eg. sc/xspread, Wingz, DBase, text)
• a lot faster
• full support, upgrades
• complete documentation
