Description:

HierProf is a C library and C preprocessor which can be used to add
time-profiling of functions to any C program.  The profiling output is
a full hierachical listing of the time spent in each function, so you
get told how much time was spent in function X as percentages of the
amount of time spent in all other functions that indirectly or directly
called X.  This is a demonstration version which ignores any nesting
beyond 5 levels.  The full version copes with up to 62 function-call
levels.
