Profiling: Adds an option to not start time profiling at startup
This patch adds a RTS flag (--no-automatic-time-samples
) which allows the program to start without starting the time profiling, in the same spirit as d89deeba did for heap profiling.
Please take a few moments to address the following points:
-
if your MR may break existing programs (e.g. touchesbase
or causes the compiler to reject programs), please describe the expected breakage and add the ~"user-facing" label. This will run ghc/head.hackage> to characterise the effect of your change on Hackage. -
ensure that your commits are either individually buildable or squashed -
ensure that your commit messages describe what they do (referring to tickets using #NNNN
syntax when appropriate) -
have added source comments describing your change. For larger changes you likely should add a [Note][notes] and cross-reference it from the relevant places. -
add a [testcase to the testsuite][adding test]. -
updates the users guide if applicable -
