5.7. What profile does not do
-
It does not run the verdict / advisory pipeline. If you want a verdict-eligible measurement, use
runandcompare. -
It does not parse the profiler's output. Whatever the tool prints is what you see. This is the point: the harness gets out of the way once it has spawned the wrapped child.
-
It does not aggregate across runs. A profile of one param at a time is the contract; loop in your shell if you need many.
-
It is not a replacement for
verify,run, orcompare. It is an additional entry point for the case where you've already identified something worth investigating.
