The code generation tools include a path profiling utility, pprof430, that is run from the compiler, cl430. The pprof430 utility is invoked by the compiler when the --gen_profile or the --use_profile command is used from the compiler command line:
| cl430 --gen_profile ... file.c |
| cl430 --use_profile ... file.c |
For further information about profile-based optimization and a more detailed description of the profiling infrastructure, see Section 3.7.
