Bennu profiler

(We will keep this page as it is right now, as the profiler does not exist in Bennu yet.)

The Bennu profiler is a handy debugging tool. It shows how much power is needed for certain systems of Bennu, most particularly the drawing and the interpreting.

To use the profiler,import the debug module (mod_debug) in your sorce code and compile it in bgdc.exe with the argument "-g", and then show it in-program with ALT+P.

Shortcuts:

ALT-P	- Show/hide the Bennu profiler
ALT-R	- Resets the profile history of the Bennu Profiler.
ALT-S	- Activate/Deactivate the Bennu Profiler.

Example

Process Main()
Begin

    // To make sure the profiler is updated every frame
    restore_type = COMPLETE_RESTORE;

    A();

    Loop
        frame;
    End

End

Process A()
Begin
    Loop
        frame;
    End
End

Used in example: restore_type, process, frame
