- Windows 32-bit API Profiler
-
-
-
- 1. Description
- The Windows API profiler will provide details of Win32 API usage
- by your application. It consists of the following set of files,
- which must be on your path when profiling an application:
-
- apfcvt.exe
- apf32dmp.exe
- fastimer.dll
- zernel32.dll
- zdvapi32.dll
- zdi32.dll
- zser32.dll
- zrtdll.dll
-
- 2. Using the Profiler
-
- o To use the profiler,
-
- - Convert the application to load the profiling dlls:
- -- To convert the application to load ALL the profiling
- dlls, type "apfcvt win32 <appname>", where <appname>
- is the name of the application with the ".exe"
- extension.
- -- To convert the application to load only a few of
- the profiling dlls, type "apfcvt <dll list> <appname>"
- where <dll list> is the list of PROFILING dlls to load
- without the ".dll" extension and <appname> is as above.
-
- for example,
-
- apfcvt zernel32 zdi32 excel.exe
-
- will convert excel.exe to load zernel32.dll and zdi32.dll.
-
- - Start Apf32dmp
-
- - Run the application to be profiled.
-
- - Apf32dmp may be used to dump data during the profiling run.
- Data will be dumped to <dll>.wap. The file extension
- may be changed in the dialog box.
-
- - Data will be dumped to <dll>.end once the application
- has finished and the dump program has stopped.
-
- - Restore the application to its original state. To restore
- an application from ALL the profiling dlls, type
- "apfcvt undo <appname>" where appname is the name of
- the application, with the ".exe" extension.
-
- To restore an application from selected dlls, type
- "apfcvt <dll list> <appname>" where <dll list> is
- the list of the SYSTEM dlls to restore, without the
- ".dll" extension.
-
- For example, if the application was converted to load
- zernel32.dll and zdi32.dll, but you wish to restore gdi32.dll,
- type "apfcvt gdi32 <appname>".
