mprof_merge_runs(1)

NAME

mprof_merge_runs - Mercury Profiling utility

DESCRIPTION

mprof_merge_runs merges the profiling data from different runs of a profiled Mercury program, for use by `mprof'.

SYNOPSIS

 First, compile with profiling enabled:

	mmc --profiling my_program

 Then, collect the profiling data:

	./my_program  args for first run
	mprof_merge_runs
	./my_program  args for second run
	mprof_merge_runs
	./my_program  args for third run
	mprof_merge_runs

 Finally, display the profile:

	mprof -c | more

 Note:

	If you just want to run your program N times with
	the same arguments, a simpler way of achieving this
	is to instead use the `-r<N>' ("repeat N times")
	option to the Mercury runtime, which you can pass by
	setting the environment variable MERCURY_OPTIONS, e.g.
		env MERCURY_OPTIONS=-r100 ./my_program

NOTES

mprof_merge_runs is one of the development tools that are part of the Mercury distribution.
