Hi!
After looking at this thread http://smorgasbordet.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1054 at Pelles C Forum, I realized how profiling is usefull.
Any chance of FASM having similar feature?

i plan to add profiling macros to FASMLIB by time. i have already done this on my late project. you just overload "proc", "ret", and calls macro to do right things Wink

How would profiling work in assembly? In C, it's usually done by the compiler inserting calls to the profiling routines at the beginning and end of each function. In asm there's no way to know where those are: a function entry point is just a label, and it's possible to exit a function with a jmp. There may even be multiple entry or exit points.

Goplat: well, if you use "proc" macros, and "ret" macros, and "stdcall"/"invoke"/"ccall" macros...
