NAME

       ocamlprof - The OCaml profiler

SYNOPSIS

       ocamlprof [ options ] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       The ocamlprof command prints execution counts gathered during the execution of a OCaml program instrumented with ocamlcp(1).

       It produces a source listing of the program modules given as arguments where execution counts have been inserted as comments. For instance,

       ocamlprof foo.ml

       prints  the  source  code  for the foo module, with comments indicating how many times the functions in this module have been called. Natu-
       rally, this information is accurate only if the source file has not been modified since the profiling execution took place.

OPTIONS

       -f dumpfile
	      Specifies an alternate dump file of profiling information.

       -F string
	      Specifies an additional string to be output with profiling information.  By default, ocamlprof(1) will annotate programs	with  com-
	      ments of the form (* n *) where n is the counter value for a profiling point. With option -F s the annotation will be (* sn *)

       -impl filename
	      Compile the file filename as an implementation file, even if its extension is not .ml.

       -intf filename
	      Compile the file filename as an interface file, even if its extension is not .mli.

       -version
	      Print version string and exit.

       -vnum  Print short version number and exit.

       -help or --help
	      Display a short usage summary and exit.

NAME

       ocamlcp - The Objective Caml profiling compiler

SYNOPSIS

       ocamlcp [ ocamlc options ] [ -p flags ] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  ocamlcp  command  is  a  front-end	to  ocamlc(1) that instruments the source code, adding code to record how many times functions are
       called, branches of conditionals are taken, ...	Execution of instrumented code produces an execution profile in the  file  ocamlprof.dump,
       which can be read using ocamlprof(1).

       ocamlcp accepts the same arguments and options as ocamlc(1).

OPTIONS

       In addition to the ocamlc(1) options, ocamlcp accepts the following option controlling the amount of profiling information:

       -p letters
	      The letters indicate which parts of the program should be profiled:

       a      all options

       f      function calls : a count point is set at the beginning of each function body

       i      if ... then ... else: count points are set in both then and else branches

       l      0 loops: a count point is set at the beginning of the loop body

       m      match branches: a count point is set at the beginning of the body of each branch of a pattern-matching

       t      try ... with branches: a count point is set at the beginning of the body of each branch of an exception catcher

       For instance, compiling with ocamlcp -pfilm profiles function calls, if ... then ... else ..., loops, and pattern matching.

       Calling ocamlcp(1) without the -p option defaults to -p fm meaning that only function calls and pattern matching are profiled.

       Note:  due  to the implementation of streams and stream patterns as syntactic sugar, it is hard to predict what parts of stream expressions
       and patterns will be profiled by a given flag.  To profile a program with streams, we recommend using ocamlcp -p a.
