5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *monitored-functions*

List of monitored symbols.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.


5.1.2 Macros

Macro: monitor (&rest names)

Monitor the named functions. As in TRACE, the names are not evaluated. If a function is already monitored, then unmonitor and remonitor (useful to notice function redefinition). If a name is undefined, give a warning and ignore it. See also unmonitor, report-monitoring, display-monitoring-results and reset-time.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Macro: monitor-form (form &optional nested threshold key)

Monitor the execution of all functions in the current package during the execution of FORM. All functions that are executed above THRESHOLD % will be reported.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Macro: unmonitor (&rest names)

Remove the monitoring on the named functions.
Names defaults to the list of all currently monitored functions.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Macro: with-monitoring ((&rest functions) (&optional nested threshold key) &body body)

Monitor the specified functions during the execution of the body.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.


5.1.3 Ordinary functions

Function: display-monitoring-results (&optional threshold key ignore-no-calls)
Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Function: monitor-all (&optional package)

Monitor all functions in the specified package.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Function: monitored (function-place)

Test to see if a FUNCTION-PLACE is monitored.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Function: monitoring-encapsulate (name &optional warn)

Monitor the function Name. If already monitored, unmonitor first.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Function: monitoring-unencapsulate (name &optional warn)

Removes monitoring encapsulation code from around Name.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Function: report-monitoring (&optional names nested threshold key ignore-no-calls)

Report the current monitoring state.
The percentage of the total time spent executing unmonitored code in each function (:exclusive mode), or total time (:inclusive mode) will be printed together with the number of calls and
the unmonitored time per call. Functions that have been executed below THRESHOLD % of the time will not be reported.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Function: reset-all-monitoring ()

Reset monitoring info for all functions.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.

Reset the monitoring info for the specified function.

Package

monitor.

Source

metering.cl.
