Hi,
could you please take care of the profile-mode bits too? Let's try
to keep
the 3 modes in sync, I noticed only by chance.
Does **anyone** use profile mode?
It has no maintainers, few (if any) users, and is an ongoing
maintenance burden.
For sure it's a burden. I have no personal objections to removing it,
but as long as it remains in, the testsuite must be clean, as for
everything else.
Paolo.
I can take care of this, sure.
Personally I find this profile mode really interesting and would
advise anyone using libstdc++ to give it a try. I think it worth the
maintenance effort.
And today I even consider extending it for an other purpose. I am
working on using the hint of the unordered insert or emplace_hint
methods. We will have to document how we use it but I also want to use
the profile mode to study if the iterator used as a hint has been really
useful or not. That is part of the nice stuff the profile mode can do.
