I have a large function with a lot of local definitions I would like indepdent cost centres for, however, since the local definitions arn't top-level auto-all doesn't catch them. is there some short cut to declare a whole list of decls should have cost centres?
I was thinking something like
foo = ... where {-# SCC "foo" #-} baz = ... bar = ...
would cause baz and bar to have cost centres named "foo.baz" and "foo.bar"
That's a good idea, but we probably won't get around to it until we do the next profiling overhaul. So that we don't lose suggestions like this, it's a good idea to add them to the feature request tracker, here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=8032&atid=358032 (this is the "Request a Feature" link on GHC's homepage).
