+; DESCRIPTION:
+; ------------
+; This program can be used to monitor running time performance of elisp
+; functions. It takes a list of functions and report the real time spent
+; inside these functions. It runs a process with a separate timer program.
+; Caveat: the C code included with this package requires BSD-compatible
+; time-of-day functions. If you're running an AT&T version prior to SVr4,
+; you may have difficulty getting it to work. Your X library may supply
+; the required routines if the standard C library does not.
+
+; HOW TO USE:
+; -----------
+; Set the variable profile-functions-list to the list of functions
+; (as symbols) You want to profile. Call M-x profile-functions to set
+; this list on and start using your program. Note that profile-functions
+; MUST be called AFTER all the functions in profile-functions-list have
+; been loaded !! (This call modifies the code of the profiled functions.
+; Hence if you reload these functions, you need to call profile-functions
+; again! ).
+; To display the results do M-x profile-results . For example:
+;-------------------------------------------------------------------
+; (setq profile-functions-list '(sokoban-set-mode-line sokoban-load-game
+; sokoban-move-vertical sokoban-move))
+; (load "sokoban")
+; M-x profile-functions
+; ... I play the sokoban game ..........
+; M-x profile-results
+;
+; Function Time (Seconds.Useconds)
+; ======== =======================
+; sokoban-move 0.539088
+; sokoban-move-vertical 0.410130
+; sokoban-load-game 0.453235
+; sokoban-set-mode-line 1.949203
+;-----------------------------------------------------
+; To clear all the settings to profile use profile-finish.
+; To set one function at a time (instead of or in addition to setting the
+; above list and M-x profile-functions ) use M-x profile-a-function .
+
+; HOW TO INSTALL:
+; ---------------
+; First you need to compile and install the following C program in your
+; path under the name "emacs-timer" (or set the variable
+; profile-timer-program to whatever name you picked).
+;
+;/**
+; ** To be run as an emacs process. Input string that starts with:
+; ** 'z' -- resets the watch (to zero).
+; ** 'p' -- return time (on stdout) as string with format <sec>.<micro-sec>
+; ** 'q' -- exit.
+; **
+; ** abstraction : a stopwatch
+; ** operations: reset_watch, get_time
+; */
+;#include <strings.h>
+;#include <sys/time.h>

+;static struct timeval TV1,TV2;
+;static struct timezone *tzp = (struct timezone *) NULL; /* no need timezone */
+;static int watch_not_started = 1 ; /* flag */
+;static char time_string[30]
+;
+;int reset_watch() /* this call resets the stopwatch to zero */
+;{
+; gettimeofday(&TV1, tzp) ;
+; watch_not_started = 0;
+;}
+;
+;char *get_time()
+; /* this call returns the time since the last reset_watch() call. The time
+; is returned as a string with the format <seconds>.<micro-seconds>
+; If reset_watch() was not called yet, returns NULL */
+;{
+; char *result = time_string ;
+; int i;
+; if (watch_not_started) return((char *) 0); /* call reset_watch first ! */
+; gettimeofday(&TV2, tzp);
+; if ( TV1.tv_usec > TV2.tv_usec )
+; {
+; TV2.tv_usec += 1000000;
+; TV2.tv_sec--;
+; }
+; sprintf(result,"%lu.%6lu",
+; TV2.tv_sec - TV1.tv_sec, TV2.tv_usec - TV1.tv_usec);
+; for (result = index(result,'.') + 1 ; *result == ' ' ; result++ )
+; *result = '0';
+; return(time_string);
+;}
+;
+;void main()
+;{
+; char inp[10];
+; while (1)
+; {
+; gets(inp);
+; switch (inp[0])
+; {
+; case 'z': reset_watch();
+; break;
+; case 'p': puts(get_time());
+; break;
+; case 'q': exit(0);
