ocamlcp accepts the same arguments and options as ocamlc(1).

In addition to the ocamlc(1) options, ocamlcp accepts the following option controlling the amount of profiling information:

-p letters

The letters following -p indicate which parts of the program should be profiled:

a

all options

f

function calls : a count point is set at the beginning of function bodies

i

if... then... else: count points are set in both "then" branch and "else" branch

l

while, for loops: a count point is set at the beginning of the loop body

m

"match" branches: a count point is set at the beginning of the body of each branch

t

try...with branches: a count point is set at the beginning of the body of each branch

For instance, compiling with ocamlcp -pfilm profiles function calls, if... then... else..., loops, and pattern matching.

Calling ocamlcp(1) without the -p option defaults to -p fm meaning that only function calls and pattern matching are profiled.
