// Module for CPU profiling based on periodic pc-sampling.
//
// For full(er) information, see doc/cpuprofile.html
//
// This module is linked into your program with
// no slowdown caused by this unless you activate the profiler
// using one of the following methods:
//
//    1. Before starting the program, set the environment variable
//       "PROFILE" to be the name of the file to which the profile
//       data should be written.
//
//    2. Programmatically, start and stop the profiler using the
//       routines "ProfilerStart(filename)" and "ProfilerStop()".
//
// All threads in the program are profiled whenever profiling is on.
// (Note: if using linux 2.4 or earlier, only the main thread may be
// profiled.)
//
// Use pprof to view the resulting profile output.
//    % pprof <path_to_executable> <profile_file_name>
//    % pprof --gv  <path_to_executable> <profile_file_name>

// to ensure that activity in the current thread is included in the

//
//  ProfileThreadState profile_state;
//  while (true) {
//    ... do some thread work ...
//    profile_state.ThreadCheck();
//  }
