Yes, it would. I was unaware of that issue.
It looks as though that feature never made it in [unfortunately]. If it
were added, was present in a default build and there were a way to
enable/disable it dynamically then what I'm proposing here wouldn't be much
of an improvement (if any).
When I say "enable it dynamically" I mean something along these lines:
$(profile_options ...formatting/level/etc goes here...)
> # or
> .PROFILE_OPTIONS := ...ditto...
> $(enable profiling)
> ...some expressions not at recipe scope...
> $(disable profiling)
> $(profile some expression)
> .RECIPEPREFIX := >
> some_target:
> > $(profile ${CC} ${FLAGS} ${<} -c -o ${@})
In lieu of that, what I'm proposing is worth adding in that it's not
difficult to use, its footprint is small and can give insight that's
otherwise difficult to glean.
