""" Some helper functions to analyze the output of sys.getdxp() (which is only available if Python was built with -DDYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE). These will tell you which opcodes have been executed most frequently in the current process, and, if Python was also built with -DDXPAIRS, will tell you which instruction _pairs_ were executed most frequently, which may help in choosing new instructions. If Python was built without -DDYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE, importing this module will raise a RuntimeError. If you're running a script you want to profile, a simple way to get the common pairs is: $ PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/Tools/scripts \ ./python -i -O the_script.py --args ... > from analyze_dxp import * > s = render_common_pairs() > open('/tmp/some_file', 'w').write(s) """ import copy import opcode import operator import sys import threading if not hasattr(sys, "getdxp"): raise RuntimeError("Can't import analyze_dxp: Python built without" " -DDYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE.") _profile_lock = threading.RLock() _cumulative_profile = sys.getdxp() # If Python was built with -DDXPAIRS, sys.getdxp() returns a list of # lists of ints.
