What does –enable-profiling option do when compiling Python?
Question:
I’m buildinng my own Python-2.6 in linux. There’s an option in configure for enabling C-level code profiling. I’ve never used that before; so just out of curiousity, what does that option do? what is it for?
Answers:
Google tells me this:
Python can now be built with
additional profiling for the
interpreter itself, intended as an aid
to people developing the Python core.
Providing
—enable-profiling to the configure script will let you profile the
interpreter with gprof
