I suggest you emphasize than hp2ps is very usefull to interpret results since at first I was not very tempted to download and install haskell. It helped me a lot for learning how to interpret results. > I'd love to hear feedback from anyone who tries it -- if you think it's > useful, if you have any suggestions on how to improve it, if you find any > bugs, or anything else. Thanks. Very nice works, some minor problem with peculiar application: memory use is dominated by obstack in libfd (and stl memory pool too) but it already allowed me to learn this libbfd behavior. Adding a paragraph about pool allocator, garbage collector and obstack which can show different behavior than the naive program expect ? regards, Philippe Elie |
