SKILL profiler

tashah

I want to use profiler to profile the time spent in each function. Basically, I am calling top-level function and it calls many other functions. I want to profile time spent in each of the functions.

 I started profiler, but before I press "stop" button, virtuoso was busy. You can not do anything, while your code is executing. If I don't press stop button then once function completes, the profiler window automatically shuts off.

Does anybody know how to use that profiler?

 Thanks.

  • Normally you should hit the "start" button, run the code, and when finished, hit the "stop" button.

    If the profiler is being closed when your code finishes, my guess is that maybe your code has:

    hiCloseWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow())

    or similar inside - the profiler window may be the current window (quite likely if you just pressed the start button and then ran the function from the CIW), and hence it is that which is being closed by your code.

    This should not normally happen, so I expect it's a function of your code?
