NAME

LogFile::Processor - Perl module for processing profiling data obtained from a run of an executable of the OpenOffice family.

SYNOPSIS

    use LogFile::Processor;
    # Obtain the profiling data via module LogFileParser.
        my $thread_data_list = ...


    # Process the data set of each thread.
    my @data_table = ();
    foreach my $thread_data (@$thread_data_list)
    {
        # Calculate the length of time that each function/scope of the
        # profiled program has taken.
        calc_lengths ($thread_data);

        # Transform into a data table that is writable to XML.
        push @data_table, create_simple_table ($thread_data);

                #       Create a list with time totals for every function/scope.
                push @data_table, create_total_list ($thread_data);
    }
    #   write @data_table to XML file via module XML_Writer.

DESCRIPTION

The functions in this package have the purpose to process the raw profiling data obtained from a run of an executable of the OpenOffice family.

calc_lengths

Compute for each start/end of scope pair of time stamps the time spend in that scope. The value is put into the start time stamp. Two arguments are expected:

$threadid
The id of the thread.

$list
The list of time stamps.

create_simple_table

Create a simple table that basically just pretty-prints all the information of the given one-thread-list. It takes two required and an optional third argument:

$threadid
The id of the thread.

$list
The list of time stamps.

$show_ends (optional)
This flag indicates wether to show the function/scope exit times.

create_total_list

Create a list of all functions/scopes together with the total time they took to compute. This functions requires a prior call to calc_lengths.

$threadid
The id of the thread.

$list
The list of time stamps.
