Warning: This is a severely early work in progress.
I was using AMD's profiling software, but it's quite a bloated pig. I can't imagine trying to fit it into a development cycle! This way just seems easier to me.
The idea is to have a single include file that changes the PROLOGUE/EPILOGUE to profile all/select proceedures. I would like to have cummulitive information across several runs of the same program. There will be code to display/load/save custom profiling information. I think there are still bugs in the macros - it worked on a test, but I couldn't just grab any program and include it. Anyone have some suggestions? Want to test the macros?
I will post updates as they come - this isn't on the front burner.

Sounds interesting BitRack, however, I'm not sure I followed exactly what it does ... I downloaded the include file, but what is the PROLOGUE/EPILOGUE of a procedure?

MASM uses the PROLOGUE/EPILOGUE macros like so:
MyProc PROC a:DWORD,b:DWORD
; execute PROLOGUE macro
;...
ret ; execute EPILOGUE macro
MyProc ENDPI never included an example with this code! Sorry.
Basically, code as normally but now there is a new option for PROC/ENDP called PROFILE (must be caps). To add profile code to the PROC do the following:
This is an example how - use it!

bitRAKE,
Are you going to create new HLA?
