ocamlcp (1)

NAME

       ocamlcp - The Objective Caml profiling compiler

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  ocamlcp  script  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 following -p indicate which  parts  of  the  program
              should be profiled:

       a      all options

       f      function  calls : a count point is set at the beginning of func-
              tion bodies

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

       l      while,  for  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

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

              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 mean-
              ing that only function calls and pattern matching are  profiled.
