;;; Commentary:

;; This is to easily profile your Emacs init file (or any other
;; script-like Emacs Lisp file, for that matter).

;; It will go over all sexp's (balanced expressions) in the file and
;; run them through `benchmark-run'.  It will then show the file with
;; overlays applied in a way that let you easily find out which sexp's
;; take the most time.  Since time is relative, it's not the absolute
;; value that counts but the percentage of the total running time.
;;
;; * All other sexp's with a percentage greater than
;;   `profile-dotemacs-low-percentage' will be preceded by a
;;   highlighted line, showing the results from `benchmark-run'.
;;   Also, the more 'reddish' the background of the sexp, the more
;;   time it needs.

;; * All other sexp's will be grayed out to indicate that their
;;   running time is miniscule.  You can still see the benchmark
;;   results in the minibuffer by hovering over the sexp with the
;;   mouse.

;; You can only benchmark full sexp's, so if you wrapped large parts
;; of your init file in some conditional clause, you'll have to remove
;; that for getting finer granularity.

;;; Usage:

;; Start emacs as follows:
;;
;;    emacs -Q -l <PATH>/profile-dotemacs.el -f profile-dotemacs
;;
;; with <PATH> being the path to where this file resides.

;;; Caveats (thanks to Raffaele Ricciardi for reporting those):

;; - The usual `--debug-init' for debugging your init file won't work
;;   with profile-dotemacs, so you'll have to call
;;   `toggle-debug-on-error', either on the commandline or at the
;;   beginning of your init file.
;; - `load-file-name' is nil when the init file is being loaded
;;   by the profiler.  This might matter if you perform the
;;   bulk of initializations in a different file.
;; - Starting external shells like IELM or eshell in your init file
;;   might mess with overlay creation, so this must not be done.
