on allocation failure instead of displaying a warning and deferencing NULL
pointer after. Spelling. Add prototypes. Add list of option in synopsis section
of man page, -d is not referenced because available as a compile option. It
should be made a runtime option btw.
things when sizeof(UNIT) becomes a runtime parameter. The relevant 2
is the one in profil(2)'s scaling of pc's to bucket numbers:
bucket = (pc - offset) / 2 * profil_scale / 65536
gprof(1) must duplicate this scaling, bug for bug compatibly, so it
must first do an integer division by 2 although this mainly makes
scales larger than 65536 useless. sizeof(UNIT) was already wrong in
gprof4, but there were no problems because the fake profil scale is a
multiple of 2.
There are also some rounding bugs in the scaling, but these are only
problems if profil(2) is used directly to create unusual (and not
useful) scales.
without possibly losing lots of precision, and print the scale using
%g instead of %d in case it is non-integral. %g might not be the best
format for this.
resolution profiling on Pentiums. On a 100MHz Pentium, the resolution
is at best 10 ns and actually a few hundred ns, but units of 10's or
100's of ns would be inconvenient and the current units of 1 us are a
bit too coarse.
underscore. Use it to avoid seeing badsw when profiling the kernel.
Print times more accurately (e.g. usec in %8.0f format instead of
msec in %8.2f format for averages) if hz >= 10000. This should have
no effect now since profhz is only 1024.
