Re: Ticky Ticky profiling

By the way... does ticky-ticky allow monitoring multithreaded programs? I ask this because the other way of learning data about the execution (compiling with -prof) is not compatible with -threaded options. In other words, you can't compile a Haskell program with -prof and -threaded options at the same time. Cheers. Cristian On 8/1/07, Tim Chevalier wrote:

Hi all!. I modified build.mk in order to allow Ticky-Ticky profiling (GhcLibWays=t). Now, when I try to make I get this error:

ToDo: tickyAllocThunk

Hi, Cristian-- To get ticky to work, you need the HEAD (or a recent nightly build snapshot). If it's still not working after that, post again.

Cheers, Tim
