# class Profile documentation:
#**************************************************************************
# self.cur is always a tuple.  Each such tuple corresponds to a stack
# frame that is currently active (self.cur[-2]).  The following are the
# definitions of its members.  We use this external "parallel stack" to
# avoid contaminating the program that we are profiling. (old profiler
# used to write into the frames local dictionary!!) Derived classes
# can change the definition of some entries, as long as they leave
# [-2:] intact.
#
# [ 0] = Time that needs to be charged to the parent frame's function.  It is
#        used so that a function call will not have to access the timing data
#        for the parents frame.
# [ 1] = Total time spent in this frame's function, excluding time in
#        subfunctions
# [ 2] = Cumulative time spent in this frame's function, including time in
#        all subfunctions to this frame.
# [-3] = Name of the function that corresonds to this frame.  
# [-2] = Actual frame that we correspond to (used to sync exception handling)
# [-1] = Our parent 6-tuple (corresonds to frame.f_back)
#**************************************************************************
# Timing data for each function is stored as a 5-tuple in the dictionary
# self.timings[].  The index is always the name stored in self.cur[4].
# The following are the definitions of the members:
#
# [0] = The number of times this function was called, not counting direct
#       or indirect recursion,
# [1] = Number of times this function appears on the stack, minus one
# [2] = Total time spent internal to this function
# [3] = Cumulative time that this function was present on the stack.  In
#       non-recursive functions, this is the total execution time from start
#       to finish of each invocation of a function, including time spent in
#       all subfunctions.
# [5] = A dictionary indicating for each function name, the number of times
#       it was called by us.
#**************************************************************************
# We produce function names via a repr() call on the f_code object during
# profiling. This save a *lot* of CPU time.  This results in a string that
# always looks like:
#   <code object main at 87090, file "/a/lib/python-local/myfib.py", line 76>
# After we "normalize it, it is a tuple of filename, line, function-name.
# We wait till we are done profiling to do the normalization.
# *IF* this repr format changes, then only the normalization routine should
# need to be fixed.

	# The following calculates the overhead for using a profiler.  The
	# problem is that it takes a fair amount of time for the profiler
	# to stop the stopwatch (from the time it recieves an event).
	# Similarly, there is a delay from the time that the profiler
	# re-starts the stopwatch before the user's code really gets to
	# continue.  The following code tries to measure the difference on
	# a per-event basis. The result can the be placed in the
	# Profile.dispatch_event() routine for the given platform.  Note
	# that this difference is only significant if there are a lot of
	# events, and relatively little user code per event.  For example,
	# code with small functions will typically benefit from having the
	# profiler calibrated for the current platform.  This *could* be
	# done on the fly during init() time, but it is not worth the
	# effort.  Also note that if too large a value specified, then
	# execution time on some functions will actually appear as a
	# negative number.  It is *normal* for some functions (with very
	# low call counts) to have such negative stats, even if the
	# calibration figure is "correct." 
	#
	# One alternative to profile-time calibration adjustments (i.e.,
	# adding in the magic little delta during each event) is to track
	# more carefully the number of events (and cumulatively, the number
	# of events during sub functions) that are seen.  If this were
	# done, then the arithmetic could be done after the fact (i.e., at
	# display time).  Currintly, we track only call/return events.
	# These values can be deduced by examining the callees and callers
	# vectors for each functions.  Hence we *can* almost correct the
	# internal time figure at print time (note that we currently don't
	# track exception event processing counts).  Unfortunately, there
	# is currently no similar information for cumulative sub-function
	# time.  It would not be hard to "get all this info" at profiler
	# time.  Specifically, we would have to extend the tuples to keep
	# counts of this in each frame, and then extend the defs of timing
	# tuples to include the significant two figures. I'm a bit fearful
	# that this additional feature will slow the heavily optimized
	# event/time ratio (i.e., the profiler would run slower, fur a very
	# low "value added" feature.) 
	#
	# Plugging in the calibration constant doesn't slow down the
	# profiler very much, and the accuracy goes way up.
