View Source Counting Instructions
Here is an example that shows how to count how many times each instruction is executed:
$ (cd erts/emulator && make icount)
MAKE icount
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/uabbgus/otp/erts/emulator'
.
.
.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/uabbgus/otp/erts/emulator'
$ cat t.erl
-module(t).
-compile([export_all,nowarn_export_all]).
count() ->
erts_debug:ic(fun benchmark/0).
benchmark() ->
%% Run dialyzer.
Root = code:root_dir(),
Wc1 = filename:join(Root, "lib/{kernel,stdlib}/ebin/*.beam"),
Wc2 = filename:join(Root, "erts/preloaded/ebin/*.beam"),
Files = filelib:wildcard(Wc1) ++ filelib:wildcard(Wc2),
Opts = [{analysis_type,plt_build},{files,Files},{get_warnings,true}],
dialyzer:run(Opts).
